## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority is currently at the Award stage of its procurement process for the "IMS Database," which involves the support and maintenance of existing Management Database Software. This public procurement falls under the 'services' category and was concluded on 25 February 2021. The contract, valued at £498,000, was awarded to ABM United Kingdom Ltd, following a limited procurement method without prior publication of competition due to specific technical constraints. The buying organisation is located at 1 Pacific Quay, 2nd Floor, Glasgow, G51 1DZ, UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the maintenance and support of management software, especially those with experience in public safety and order services. Given the limited competition, firms that provide bespoke database solutions or software maintenance services and have a proven track record in similar public sector contracts will find this an attractive avenue for business growth. The tender's specific requirements suggest a need for technological expertise, thus favouring established companies with the capacity to meet complex technical needs.
