Please note response to this Request for Information will be for information purposes only. This request for information is not a request to participate stage, and will not be used to limit the selection of suppliers who are invited to bid during the procurement stage. The procurement itself will be a competitive flexible procurement, with the first stage being an open procedure as to not limit the market. Information provided in response to the questions within this request for information will be treated as confidential, will not be shared outside of Sussex and Surrey Police, and will be used to inform the creation of their tender packs and budget models only. Responses should be submitted using the following link: https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd Where a supplier has not yet registered on In-tend, they will need to do so and then log into the portal. In the top right hand corner click the portal button, scroll down the list of authorities until you find Sussex Police and click the register with this organisation button. It should then link you to the Sussex Police page where you can access the Request for Information. Please note the In-tend portal can take up to 15 minutes once registered to Sussex Police before you can access the Sussex Police opportunities, if you are still unable to access then please contact myself via email: paige.ward@sussex.police.uk Suppliers are asked to only provide information requested in the Request for Information, and not provide any additional marketing or sales information relating to your products/solutions. All suppliers will be given the opportunity to provide any additional required information when the Procurement is live and open for bids. Suppliers who are successful in the initial evaluation stages of the competitive flexible procedure will then have the opportunity to demonstrate their product. Suppliers will be given the opportunity to ask any clarification questions when the procurement is live and open for bids.",
