## Summary

The Police Digital Service has awarded a contract for FY25 Validation Services to CCL Forensics Ltd. The contract, with a value of £151,000, falls under the IT services category. The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender period ended on 2nd April 2024, and the contract period spans from 28th May 2024 to 31st August 2024.

This tender for validation services in the digital forensics sector provides an opportunity for businesses offering consulting, software development, and IT support services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender particularly suitable. The validation project aims to centrally validate digital forensic tools, meeting industry standards ISO 17025:2017 and the Forensic Science Regulator's Codes of Practice and Conduct (FSR CoPC). Businesses well-suited to compete would be those specialised in IT services within the consulting and software development sectors.

## Notice

The Digital Forensics Programme (DFP) launched in 2022 to deliver several projects to optimise how digital forensics is undertaken in policing. This is comprised of five overarching projects: * Selective Examination & Extraction (SEE) * Automation * Validation * Enduring Capability * Rape Response Review Project Tech Uplift 2 (RRRP2) The Validation project aims to establish a centralised validation and GTD service, reducing the validation burden of ISO17025 and the FSR CoPC and facilitating the deployment of digital forensics software in police forces. This will minimise duplication of activities by conducting validation activities centrally rather than locally. The current Validation scope includes the critical validation activity required to ensure the success of software implementations associated with the RRRP2, SEE and Automation projects. In FY25, the Validation Project aims to complete the following activities, for validation of digital forensic tools within the DFP portfolio. The validation will be conducted using both newly procured devices and existing digital devices containing ground truth data (GTD) and will meet the requirements for the ISO 17025:2017 and the Forensic Science Regulator's Codes of Practice and Conduct (FSR CoPC).
