Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Home Office Immigration Enforcement Criminal and Financial Investigation Digital Forensic Analysis Supplier Engagement 2017" is initiated by the Home Office, located in Croydon, England. Currently at the planning stage, the process invites supplier engagement for digital forensic analysis services, primarily aimed at tackling serious organised immigration crime. The engagement end date is set for 23 February 2018, and the annual value is estimated between £300,000 and £400,000. Suppliers will be required to comply with the Forensic Science Regulators Codes of Practice and Conduct, ensuring they possess ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in digital forensic analysis, laboratory services, and IT-related services.

The Home Office is encouraging potential suppliers to express their interest in an upcoming engagement event, which is yet to be scheduled, suggesting that this could be a fruitful opportunity for growth in a niche market.
