## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority has completed a procurement process titled "Compass Application Licence Renewal" for the renewal of the Compass application licences covering the period from 2020 to 2023. The procurement was conducted under an open procedure and falls under the goods category, specifically related to public order and safety. The contract, valued at £68,217, was awarded on 1 April 2020 and is located in Glasgow, United Kingdom. The authority responsible for this procurement is the Scottish Police Authority, which serves as both the buyer and central purchasing body.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in software licensing and public sector technology services.

Though the awarded contract has been finalised, businesses can monitor similar upcoming tenders that may arise in public safety and application licensing sectors, paving the way for future partnerships and contracts.
