Notice Title

Data Analysis Tool - RASSO Predatory Behaviours

Notice Description

Declaration of interest to participate in a preliminary market consultation process and possible further Police Digital Service (PDS) Rape and Serious Sexual Offences (RASSO) awareness sessions for an AI based automated Data Analysis Tool - RASSO Predatory Behaviours system requirements.

Lot Information

Lot 1

PDS is seeking to undertake market engagement to inform supplier interest and capability with regards provision of a data analysis tool which dynamically identifies and reports predatory behaviours from purely text-based information, that could be used to support Criminal Justice and national security system investigations. This capability would facilitate information gathering and presentation to accelerate the decisions to proceed, charge and prosecute throughout a highly sensitive RASSO case. The intended solution requires AI based automation to minimise interaction from operational colleagues. Consultation is expected to inform PDS on supplier interest/capability. Draft requirements will be shared with interested suppliers who meet the security vetting requirements (police vetting at NPPV3 level, issued by the Warwickshire Police National Contractor Vetting Scheme (NCVS)). Additional information: This PIN is to signal an intention to commence market engagement with new and existing interested suppliers and share high level draft requirements & indicative procurement timelines, with suppliers who meet the security requirements. The estimated date of publication is subject to change. To participate, please refer to Section VI.3 (Additional Information) below.

    "description": "Victims of rape and serious sexual offenses (RASSO) in the UK are being failed by the criminal justice system. In 2021, the Home Office published the End-to-End Rape Review which highlighted that 'the vast majority of victims do not see the crime against them charged and reach a court: one in two victims withdraw from rape investigations'. As a result of the review, UK Policing made a number of commitments to improve the end-to-end investigation of RASSO and most importantly bring more offenders to justice. The procurement is in support of a national programme to identify innovative technologies that can provide a positive step-change in the way RASSO is investigated across the UK to better meet the needs of law enforcement and victims of crime - this PIN relates specifically to an AI based data analysis capability which can dynamically identify and reports RASSO predatory behaviours from purely text-based information.
