UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office is currently undertaking a preliminary market engagement exercise concerning the National Data Integration and Exploitation capability. This is not a competitive tender process but an information gathering phase scheduled to conclude by 10th July 2025. The engagement aims to identify potential solutions within the software and information systems sector and is specifically focused on services that could enhance UK law enforcement's operational and strategic data usage. Located in London, this engagement is a critical initial step in planning for future procurement processes, with anticipated contract commencement in April 2026. This request for information (RFI) forms part of the planning stage with further notices expected by December 2025.

This market engagement presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in software, information systems, and data services. Businesses with expertise in providing complete or partial solutions, as well as consortia offering integrated services, are well-suited for involvement. The engagement notably aligns with the Home Office’s intent to optimise national law enforcement capabilities, creating substantial growth prospects for organisations in relevant sectors. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, potentially benefiting from a substantial projected contract value ranging between £75 million and £250 million over five years, including renewal options. This opportunity may facilitate business expansion and innovative collaboration within the public safety and security domains.

Notice Information

Notice Title

National Data Integration and Exploitation capability - Request for Information (RFI)

Notice Description

TThis pre-market engagement is not a competitive process but is intended to help the Authority and Policing better understand the range of capabilities, delivery models, and innovations available from industry to address current problems and unlock the full potential of our data by using it in new, transformative ways. The information provided will help shape our thinking on the most effective ways to work with industry in future and may inform the design of any future procurement activity. UK law enforcement operates within a highly complex landscape, supported by an array of local, regional, and national systems and datasets. This limits policing's ability to maximise the use of their data. Without meaningful reform, it will continue to hinder both operational performance and strategic progress. The Authority recognises that this is a significant undertaking, with implications across core policing functions and other public safety agencies at local, regional, and national levels. We therefore welcome: - Complete solutions that address all or a significant part of the full scope of the requirement, - Partial solutions that focus on specific aspects, or - Consortia that combine multiple products and services to deliver broader, integrated coverage. In all cases, responses must clearly define the specific scope and boundaries of the proposed solution. This Pre Market Engagement is being performed to help us understand how best to deliver our data integration and exploitation capabilities and the extent to which we will be asking the market to provide. At this stage, it is therefore difficult for us to assess subsequent procurement as this could be for all or part of a complete solution. However as a guide, we would expect the contract value, over a 5 year period to be between PS75m and PS250m

Planning Information

It is important to note that this RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published in Find a Tender Service.
