Currently at the planning stage, the process invites supplier engagement for digital forensic analysis services, primarily aimed at tackling serious organised immigration crime. The engagement end date is set for 23 February 2018, and the annual value is estimated between £300,000 and £400,000. Suppliers will be required to comply with the Forensic Science Regulators Codes of Practice and Conduct, ensuring they possess ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in digital forensic analysis, laboratory services, and IT-related services. Companies with experience in mobile device analysis and computer forensic examinations will be particularly well-suited to participate. The Home Office is encouraging potential suppliers to express their interest in an upcoming engagement event, which is yet to be scheduled, suggesting that this could be a fruitful opportunity for growth in a niche market. ## Notice Criminal and Financial Investigation (CFI) within Immigration Enforcement (IE) are responsible for tackling serious and complex organised immigration crime (SOIC). IE CFI currently carry out some of their digital forensic analysis in house using 3rd party procured kit and software, work that cannot be completed in-house is outsourced to a 3rd party provider or a police force. IE CFI are planning to tender their high volume digital forensic analysis work which includes mobile device analysis e.g. phones, sat navs and computer digital forensic analysis work including hard drives and laptops. Our current thinking is the value is around PS300,000-PS400,000 per year. The Home Office will require suppliers to adhere to the Forensic Science Regulators Codes of Practice and Conduct by the date of contract award. This states that organisations must have ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and the accreditation scope must include the Codes and digital forensic appendix/guidance for a broad range of digital activities. For more information, see Table 1 in the Codes at www.gov.uk/government/collections/forensic-science-providers-codes-of-practice-and-conduct We are looking to hold an early supplier engagement event in the near future and would like to gauge interest in such an event. Please can you advise if you are interested in attending. The date and location are to be confirmed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/064506a0-2b36-4ae1-b1ea-05f7a665d144 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | CROYDON | | Post town | Croydon | | Postcode | CR9 1DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI62 Croydon | | Local authority | Croydon | | Electoral ward | Fairfield | | Westminster constituency | Croydon West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71620000 - Analysis services - 71900000 - Laboratory services - 72500000 - Computer-related services - 79700000 - Investigation and security services ## Release History - 11 Oct 2017 at 11:51 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/064506a0-2b36-4ae1-b1ea-05f7a665d144 - 9 Oct 2017 at 10:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/064506a0-2b36-4ae1-b1ea-05f7a665d144 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/064506a0-2b36-4ae1-b1ea-05f7a665d144 11th October 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
