## Summary

The Home Office is conducting a market exploration titled "HMICFRS - Market Exploration: Police Objective Analysis (POA) data," falling under the "Design and execution of research and development" industry category. This procurement process is in the planning stage, seeking to gather high-quality police financial data to aid in inspecting and understanding how police forces in England and Wales manage their finances. Interested parties are invited to participate in a virtual call to discuss the opportunity scheduled for 12:00pm on 23 April 2025, with confirmation of attendance required by 17 April 2025. This engagement applies to various regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, Midlands, and London, among others.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs, by providing a platform to showcase their capabilities in delivering robust research and development services. By participating, businesses can influence future procurement strategies and potentially secure follow-up contracts if the market exploration meets the Home Office's needs. Firms with expertise in data analysis, especially those experienced with handling financial data within the public sector, would likely find this opportunity well-suited to their skills and aims to establish a foothold in public sector contracts.

## Notice

HMICFRS seek to understand how the market can provide high quality police financial data including actuals for all forces in England and Wales, that will enable HMICFRS to understand how forces spend their money to do their job. Building a better understanding of current market capability will inform decisions on how best to inspect forces and clarify areas of concern for inspection. If you are interested in this opportunity, we intend running a virtual call after Easter 2025. If this is of interest to your organisation please email hannah.marriott@hmicfrs.gov.uk and confirm who (max two) from your organisation will be available for a call at 12:00pm on 23/4/2025. Please confirm your attendance by 17/4/2025. Additional information: This exercise is to assess the viability that there is a market capable of delivering this requirement. This is not an actual competition because the outcome of this exercise will inform next steps
