This initiative falls under the software package and information systems industry category, with a total value of £8,000,000.

The framework will be available for use by all UK police forces and certain agencies, ensuring a quick and legal route to market. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions and associated support services, particularly those experienced in compliance software. Companies that can provide fixed-price offerings for software, licensing, and ongoing support will be particularly well-suited to compete. The tender process may include mini-competitions, allowing for tailored bids according to the specific needs of each police force or agency, thereby fostering a competitive environment for various suppliers. ## Notice The Police ICT Company wishes to undertake a compliant EU tender exercise to establish a national Framework Agreement for the purchase of Covert Management System and Associated Support and Maintenance for a period of 4 years from 20 February 2017. The Framework Agreement will be made open for use by all UK police forces and certain Agencies and in doing so allowing them a quick legal route to market. This Framework Agreement is anticipated to be in place by 20th February 2017 giving Forces adequate time to purchase a system within the 2016-2017 Financial year. This Framework Agreement will only be extended to UK police forces and certain Agencies and not to the wider public sector or security market.The Police ICT Company will be the lead for this procurement and establishment of this Framework Agreement and individual forces / regions / agencies will enter into contract direct with their appointed supplier. The Framework will consist of 2 lots: Lot 1 - standard call-off fixed price - for the software, licensing and support and maintenance costs. This will also include a fixed-rate card for installation, upgrade and any other development work required. This Lot will be a direct award only and prices will not be negotiable. Lot 2 - The initial basis of any software, licensing and support and maintenance shall be the detailed set of requirements forming part of Lot 1 but these may be modified, amended and added to by a force / region / agency as part of any particular Mini Competition. For example the objective criteria for selecting to re-open competition would be on the basis of the particular location of the force / region / agency, the quantity of services required and the fact the contract has particularly complex requirements. This Framework Agreement will include pricing reviews, product updates, innovation and development and supplier reviews to verify that it remains a preferred route to market and continues to provide value for money. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d01a722d-183e-4168-9a40-fb56c7807068 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Feb 2017 - 19 Feb 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £8,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EAST MIDLANDS STRATEGIC COMMERCIAL UNIT (EMSCU | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2M 4WN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48170000 - Compliance software package ## Release History - 23 Dec 2016 at 15:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d01a722d-183e-4168-9a40-fb56c7807068 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d01a722d-183e-4168-9a40-fb56c7807068 23rd December 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=18549&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/32217 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
