Notice Information

Notice Title

National ANPR Application and Associated Services Procurement

Notice Description

The Home Office is conducting a procurement of a National Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) Service Application and Associated Services (the 'NAS Application'). ANPR is a vital law enforcement capability used to detect and disrupt criminal activity, protect vulnerable individuals, and support national security efforts. The National ANPR Service (NAS) provides nationwide functionality to policing and law enforcement agencies and processes high volumes of ANPR data to enable vehicle journey analysis, alerting and evidential use. Around 100 million ANPR reads a day are sent to the NAS providing vehicle journey search, alerting and evidential export functionality to policing and law enforcement agencies across England, Wales, and Scotland. The future NAS Application must be capable of managing high-volume, high-demand operations while ensuring data security and privacy. The requirement is for a commercially available ANPR application, configured and integrated to meet the Authority's business requirements, together with associated implementation, integration, service management and support services. The solution will be required to operate within the Authority's technical environment, including integration with the National Strategic ANPR Platform (NSAP), which provides core ANPR data services including read collection, search functionality and alerting. The supplier will be responsible for integration of the proposed solution with NSAP and other relevant Authority and external systems. The scope includes: - Provision, configuration and customisation of an ANPR application, including user interface and supporting services; - System integration, including design, build, testing and deployment of the solution within the Authority's cloud hosting environment; - Integration with NSAP and other systems as required; - Transition into live service, including training and operational readiness activities; - Ongoing service management, support and maintenance of the solution, including incident, problem, and change management; - Continuous improvement and development to meet evolving operational requirements. The solution must support a range of operational capabilities, including vehicle search and analysis, alerting, case management, auditing, reporting and user access management. The procurement does not include responsibility for core NSAP data services, police-owned infrastructure, or Authority-owned system integration management functions, which will remain outside the scope of this contract. Further detail on the functional, technical and service requirements is set out in the procurement documents. The procurement is being conducted under the Procurement Act 2023 using a Competitive Flexible Procedure.
