Lot Information

Lot 1

The Home Office is seeking the views of potential suppliers on how best to deliver RN services in support of Cyclamen. Please note that this is not a call for competition, neither is it a procurement exercise but an opportunity for the Home Office to better understand the supplier market and for potential suppliers to provide feedback at a formative stage of the process. The Authority's high level business outcomes and requirements are summarised below: * Provide service and maintenance to the current deployed live RN detection capability at ports and airports, around the UK and one site in northern France, including all associated IT infrastructure, both cloud-based and physical. * Work with other key suppliers and subject matter experts including the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) in the testing, calibration and integration of new and existing components within the solution and any changes discovered through the continuous improvement process. * The complex nature of the solution means that there will be a number of stakeholders in addition to the Home Office that the supplier would be expected to work with in the execution of the Cyclamen Service. The new supplier may also be required to procure hardware and associated software on behalf of the authority. * A current test facility exists used by the incumbent supplier, Home Office and other key stakeholders and is employed for the purpose of testing, integration and storage. Work is ongoing to look at the arrangements and processes for running the site but there will be a need for the supplier to use the dedicated facility for testing purposes. More information may be found in our Early Market Engagement document.
