## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority, based in Glasgow, UK, awarded a contract for the renewal of the QAS Experian Software to NEC Software Solutions UK Limited. The procurement process was conducted through a limited tender, and the contract worth £400,881 GBP was signed on 7th March 2023 under an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in goods to compete for contracts in the public order and safety category. Businesses with expertise in providing technical solutions for public organisations may find this procurement appealing due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, creating a niche market opportunity.

## Notice

### Lot Information

### Procurement Information

It is considered that the award of a new contract in the circumstances detailed in this Paper is consistent with Regulations 33 (1) (b) (ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, which allow the contracting authority to award a public contract without prior publication of a contract notice or prior information notice when (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons but only, ...where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.
