This tender falls within the police equipment sector and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender period closing on 3rd July 2019. The project is part of an innovation partnership and is classified under the main procurement category of goods, specifically police equipment and related software and IT services. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and technology firms that specialise in software development, IT consulting, or equipment for law enforcement. Businesses that can offer measurable solutions to improve operational efficiency in collision investigations are well-suited to compete. The project's aim to decrease the time taken for forensic evidence capture may particularly attract firms with innovative technologies or methodologies aimed at enhancing police operations, thus contributing to safer and more efficient road management in the affected regions. ## Notice The Challenge: The Alliance Operations Department are seeking to explore solutions that will enable officers to reduce evidential capture time by 50% during a collision investigation. In Devon & Cornwall there were 870 people killed or seriously injured in road traffic collisions during 2017. In Dorset this figure was 356. In addition to the significant impact on individuals connected to and affected by a serious injury collision, there are additional outcomes of prolonged road closures which affect residents, visitors and businesses in Devon, Cornwall and Dorset. When a collision occurs on the Strategic Road Network, this causes additional considerable strain on the surrounding infrastructure, and significant issues around increased pollution and congestion in our major conurbations. Financial impacts are an estimated economic loss of PS1m every hour a motorway is closed, and an estimated cost of PS2.6m to the public sector for every fatal collision. The impact of the solution must be measurable and workable from an operational policing perspective and should be applicable in other locations within England & Wales. The OPCC (the 'Office for Police and Crime Commissioner') for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly and the OPCC for Dorset (the 'OPCCs') are working with Devon and Cornwall Police and Dorset Police (the 'Alliance Operations Department') and Exeter City Futures to help access solutions that can address these challenges and reduce the impact on congestion and across the three counties caused by road closures following collisions. The Alliance Operations Department are seeking to explore solutions that will enable officers to reduce time spent to secure and preserve forensic evidence resulting in evidential capture time being reduced by 50% during a collision investigation. This activity seeks to improve the police evidential capture, recognising that there are other factors, out of police control, which may impact on a road being safe to re-open.
