Police Scotland will be looking to procure a Corporate Technology Platform to provide core functionality across various departments and in turn, replace the Authority's finance system. However, due to the timescales associated with a procurement of a Corporate Technology Platform, an interim solution is required to maintain financial governance and prevent service disruption in the duration between the current system going end of life and the new Corporate Technology Platform going live. This procurement is for an Interim Finance System. Options: Police Scotland reserve the right to purchase additional goods and services which offer ongoing improvements to the operational solution and to cater for the emergence of new and evolving technologies which could enhance the solution and/or the provision of the Services. Any such changes will be progressed through the Contract Variation process in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Renewal: There will be the option to extend the Contract for a further two (2) periods of up to one (1) year each at the sole discretion of Police Scotland. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT542113 | | Notice type | OJEU - F14 - Corrigendum | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Oct 2025 | | Submission deadline | 22 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH POLICE AUTHORITY | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G51 1DZ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Calton | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow East | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48442000 - Financial systems software package - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72212442 - Financial systems software development services - 72250000 - System and support services - 72260000 - Software-related services ## Release History - 27 Oct 2025 at 00:00 - TenderUpdate - OJEU - F14 - Corrigendum - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT542113 - 27 Oct 2025 at 00:00 - TenderUpdate - OJEU - F14 - Corrigendum - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT542153 - 8 Oct 2025 at 00:00 - TenderUpdate - OJEU - F14 - Corrigendum - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT540937 - 22 Sep 2025 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539656 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539656 Interim Finance System - Police Scotland require an interim finance system to replace their current system which will be going end of life in February 2027. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=807876 - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx - http://www.spa.police.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000807876 - https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ESPD/ESPD_Download.aspx?id=807876 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
