Notice Information
Notice Title
LEDS Person Update
Notice Description
LEDS is a programme that has been established to develop a modernised data service, (the Law Enforcement Data Service - LEDS) to replace the Police National Computer (PNC) and better meet the needs of PNC users. LEDS will consist of several products developed to allow the transitioning of PNC users away from the legacy services. One of these products, the LEDS Person Product, is on the critical path for the decommissioning of the PNC. To ensure continuity and timely delivery of this essential component, the remaining work already underway will be completed via a direct award
Procurement Information
The Home Office Law Enforcement Data Services (LEDS) Programme intends to make a direct award to PA Consulting for the provision of managed, engineering, and support services. This contract will run from October 2025 to the end of August 2026. The LEDS Programme is delivering the replacement for the Police National Computer (PNC), a Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) service that supports operational policing through real-time checks on individuals, vehicles, and other law enforcement data. This direct award is justified under Schedule 5, Paragraph 7 of the Procurement Act 2023, as the services provided by the incumbent supplier form an extension to existing work. A change in supplier at this stage would result in incompatible services and disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance, impacting the continuity of the programme. It would also risk delays to critical delivery timelines, which are essential to ensuring the safe and timely transition of the legacy PNC system.
