## Summary

## Notice

This is a notice for an early supplier engagement exercise whereby the Environment Agency's I&IT project team wish to engage with the market place to learn and understand whether there are suppliers in the marketplace whom are able to satisfy the problem statement below. Problem Statement: The I&IT project team have experience of point solutions for case management, intelligence management, financial investigation, evidence and surveillance management etc. We are aware of a move in the market place to offer more ensemble solutions bringing all enforcement IT tooling into a suite of matched modules and even single integrated solutions. However, we are less sighted on the current maturity of these products, and the overall fit with our (non-police) enforcement business with them, and therefore seek to establish whether this is a credible option to pursue into full commercial evaluation. Please review the Market Assessment Information & Guidance document for further information available at: https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html
