About the buyer

Police Digital Service is a blue-light technology body serving UK policing, funded jointly by forces and the Home Office. The organisation delivers the National Policing Digital Strategy alongside law enforcement, industry and government partners. A dedicated commercial team gives police forces and suppliers ethical, impartial guidance on live tenders. That team reviews bids, checks compliance and advises on evaluation for both sides of a contract. Responsibility for procuring national policing IT frameworks and contracts moved to BlueLight Commercial on 1 April 2024. Police Digital Service's own technology opportunities still appear on Find a Tender.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of Police Digital Service's contract awards have been in IT services, education and training and software and information systems.
