What is being bought

Police Scotland wishes to engage potential Suppliers to obtain appropriate information in advance of an Invitation to Tender being issued. The supplier engagement will enable us to: - Gain greater clarity on the services and solutions currently available. - Consider best practice and innovation. - Consider potential costs for the solution. - Identify the most effective procurement route. - Establish timescales that would be required for: - ITT process - Solution delivery The initial scope of the anticipated procurement exercise will be to deliver an Intelligence Management System (IMS) which will replace Police Scotland’s current Scottish Intelligence Database (SID). The replacement solution will allow for the recording, management, understanding, and development of intelligence and should be modern, stable and future proof. This procurement will include all required software, project management, installation, testing, test reporting, migration data, licensing, support & maintenance, training and any other associated goods or services required to deliver the solution. Further information is contained within a Request for Information document which will be made available to Suppliers on request. The planned timescales for the RFI stage are: - Prior Information Notice published on 27th May 2026 - Suppliers to request RFI document by 1st June 2026 - Suppliers to submit any clarifications by 15th June 2026 - Suppliers to submit RFI responses by 7th August 2026 Suppliers wishing to participate at this stage should request the RFI document via the Public Contracts Scotland website.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 35. The category anchor is Electronic intelligence system (35721000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 351,2574 median · 38.4 average (382 of 1,257 with a bid count)4 average (415 of 1,257 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKM433 median · 20 average (21 of 43 with a bid count)7.4 average (21 of 43 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
