## Summary

The procurement process identified as CCSO16B26 involves the Crown Commercial Service as the contracting authority, focusing on the provision of WiFi Survey Devices and Router Analytical Tools for its Digital Media Investigators. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically related to software packages and information systems. It was published on 16 January 2017, with a tender period ending on 27 January 2017. The contract period is set to commence on 14 February 2017, concluding on 13 February 2018. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, aimed at ensuring a competitive bidding environment.

This opportunity presents substantial potential for business growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in technological devices for wireless communication and network analysis. Businesses that manufacture or distribute survey equipment, offer software solutions for data analysis, or provide technical training and support services would be especially well-suited to participate in this tender. Engaging with the Crown Commercial Service could enhance market presence and establish long-term collaborations in the public sector.

## Notice

The Authority's Digital Media Investigators require equipment capable of conducting WiFi 'surveys' and detecting if devices are connected to a network. The Authority also seeks training in usage of the devices, together with 12 month's technical support and software upgrades. The Authority's Investigators require two device types, as follows: Device Type 1: Router Analytical Tool - based on a small laptop running bespoke software which provides a WiFi 'direction finding' capability. Amongst other things, this will enable the investigators to locate devices which may have been secreted in a property. Device Type 2: WiFi Analysis Tool - A smaller, hand held device (based on a reconfigured smart phone), which Investigators can use to conduct a 'WiFi survey' at a particular access point and which is capable of scanning both 2.4GHz and 5Ghz networks. The devices are needed in order to assist with and speed up criminal investigations undertaken by the Investigators. The devices will save money in the long term as the Authority will undertake its own WiFi surveying instead of paying third party providers to supply these services on a commercial basis.
