This procurement falls under the IT services category and has a potential value between £5 million and £16 million. The tender period concludes on 14 September 2020, while the contract duration runs from 2 November 2020 to 1 November 2024. The agreement will be accessible to all UK Police Forces, with a focus on software packages and information systems. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering consulting, software development, and related support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the procurement's inclusive nature. Businesses with expertise in developing systems for public sector training records and asset management will be particularly well-suited to submit competitive proposals. ## Notice This Framework Agreement is intended to enable forces to buy systems that support them in managing police competencies, managing police assets and delivering a number of non-functional requirements. Training Records Capture and Management - The systems are required to support the capture and management of training records for specialist police competencies - firearms use, dog handling, public order, command, blue light driving and other key operational policing competencies, that are prescribed by the College of Policing, and that Forces must keep detailed records about in order to fulfil their statutory role. Asset Management - The systems are also required to support the management of specialist police assets, examples include firearms, dogs, technical surveillance equipment, specialist forensic tools, ANPR cameras, specialist vehicles, and others. These are assets that are in limited supply, that need to be kept securely, that need to be locatable 24 hours a day, that need to be disposed of in a controlled manner, that we need to keep records of where they are used, and that require specialist competencies to operate. Non-Functional Requirements - There are other non-functional requirements that apply to both training records and asset management. The full specification and requirements are included in the ITT. Note the value of this procurement is between PS5mil - PS16mil. The lower limit is based on the performance of the current framework; and the upper limit is to ensure the OJEU value is set at a sufficient amount to allow for any unanticipated uplift. The Framework Agreement will be available for use by all UK Police Forces (see link for list) - https://www.police.uk/forces/ Additional information: The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at: https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=34127&B=BLUELIGHT ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7a7ab0c-111d-4704-a3bc-52af8e523886 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Other - Other | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Sep 2020 | | Submission deadline | 18 Sep 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Nov 2020 - 1 Nov 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £16,000,000 | | 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 | EC4R 1AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Vintry | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 14 Sep 2020 at 12:29 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7a7ab0c-111d-4704-a3bc-52af8e523886 - 8 Sep 2020 at 10:58 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7a7ab0c-111d-4704-a3bc-52af8e523886 - 12 Aug 2020 at 11:28 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7a7ab0c-111d-4704-a3bc-52af8e523886 - 12 Aug 2020 at 08:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7a7ab0c-111d-4704-a3bc-52af8e523886 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7a7ab0c-111d-4704-a3bc-52af8e523886 14th September 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://ict.police.uk/ - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=34127&B=BLUELIGHT - https://www.police.uk/forces/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
