The two-lot framework is expected to be four years in term, with a total noncommittal ceiling value of PS40m. Interested suppliers will be invited to submit one bid for one or both lots. The intention is to award two contracts per lot, with a total of four systems available for purchase by UK and NI Policing via a direct award procedure (two SCILs, two KIPs).",
