Blue Prism Digital Worker Licences & BCS Support (WCC) - AWARD

About the buyer

Cheshire Constabulary buys as a police force serving Cheshire, through a Joint Corporate Strategic Procurement department shared with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner. Framework agreements from Bluelight Commercial cover much of its national buying, including uniform development. Local suppliers and SMEs are weighed against those national agreements on a contract-by-contract basis. Construction contracts prioritise framework agreements with a locally based supply chain. The force also works with the National Commercial Focus Group on the next Emergency Services Network. Partnership with the Police Digital Service extends collaborative buying across forces nationally.

The top 10 blue light buyers spent a collective £2.2bn between FY2021 and FY2025.

Over the past 5 years, most of Cheshire Constabulary's contract awards have been in transport equipment, IT services and software and information systems.
