Procurement Information

Force Information Systems Limited is the only supplier capable of providing the support on its solution and that no satisfactory alternative exists, other than the procurement of a new solution and subsequent support. Given that Police Scotland currently owns licences giving the right to use and they currently provide the required functionality for existing requirements, i.e. a single national system, this is not a satisfactory alternative and there is no justification to move away from this established application at this time.
