This procurement falls under the IT services industry, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, Internet and support (CPV code: 72000000). The contract was awarded on 4th March 2021 and has a duration from 22nd March 2021 to 21st March 2022. The methodology applied was a selective procedure, and the tender period ended on 5th February 2021. This tender can generate substantial opportunities for businesses aiming to expand in the technology sector, particularly those specialising in Robotic Process Automation and related IT services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) would be well-placed to compete for this contract, given the emphasis on improving efficiency in Digital Forensic units dealing with Child Sexual Exploitation investigations. Companies that can demonstrate innovative approaches and technology solutions in forensic examinations will find this an attractive chance to showcase their capabilities. ## Notice The Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Automate project comprises a number of process improvement, technology testing and development projects which are intended to standardise and improve the efficiency of the Digital Forensic (DF) examination process for the investigation of CSE offences. The integrated CSE Automate Service will ultimately be delivered by the Forensic Capability Network (FCN), providing a national service, incorporating aspects of technical, quality, workforce and end user support and development, enabling the realisation of significant efficiency and productivity benefits within Digital Forensic Unit's (DFU's) undertaking CSE examinations. As a first step, this project seeks to automate elements of the workflows used in this type of DF examination by law enforcement, which currently accounts for around 40% of cases in DF units, and 60% of the resource use. It is therefore a strong candidate for process improvement and efficiency savings. Transforming Forensics (TF) have undertaken a discovery process with all England and Wales Police forces and conducted a market assessment of technologies which has led to the selection of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) as one of three technologies which may be able to contribute significantly to the TF objectives. The success of each of the technologies will be compared in order to inform the optimum way forward for forces. The benefits, lessons learnt, and challenges of this trial will be available for all FCN members to consider. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea7a24f6-9bf6-4f27-9430-2ce37e48941c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | 5 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Mar 2021 | | Contract period | 22 Mar 2021 - 21 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £55,595 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH WEST POLICE PROCUREMENT SERVICES | | Locality | DORSET | | Post town | Dorchester | | Postcode | DT2 8DZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK64 Dorset | | Local authority | Dorset | | Electoral ward | West Purbeck | | Westminster constituency | South Dorset | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DELOITTE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 3 Jun 2021 at 16:30 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea7a24f6-9bf6-4f27-9430-2ce37e48941c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea7a24f6-9bf6-4f27-9430-2ce37e48941c 3rd June 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=36220&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/30310 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.devon-cornwall.police.uk/your-right-to-information ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
