This project aims to enhance the National ANPR Service (NAS) by developing a management server that will replace the existing National ANPR Data Centre and Back Office Facilities. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a budget set at £50,000 for the fiscal year of 2017/2018. Key dates include a future notice on June 2, 2017, and the deadline for submitting requests to obtain an End User Licence Agreement for suppliers. The contract will begin on June 2, 2017, and will last for a single day. The location for delivery addresses includes the UK and other territories worldwide. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software development and integration within law enforcement infrastructures. Businesses that have expertise in creating tailored software solutions for complex systems, particularly those familiar with ANPR technology and data management systems, would be well-suited to compete. Participation in this contract also requires suppliers to engage collaboratively with law enforcement authorities to ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure, thus providing a chance for innovative companies to showcase their capabilities in supporting national security initiatives. ## Notice The National ANPR Service (NAS) is concerned with replacing the existing National ANPR Data Centre (NADC) and Back Office Facilities (BOFs) with a single national capability. ANPR reads will continue to be captured by camera infrastructure managed by the Law Enforcement Authorities (LEAs) and will be fed into NAS via a management server. This contract is to develop a management server that meets the needs of the overall NAS solution and interfaces to the existing LEA infrastructure. The role of a management server is to coordinate the delivery of ANPR reads to NAS and the retrieval of data from it. A management server will be able to connect to the existing NRD and mobile unit infrastructure for a LEA, receiving ANPR reads from the NRDs and providing data to mobile units for offline working. In this respect, the management servers will replace the BOFs that LEAs currently use. All other BOF functionality should be provided by the central NAS application. Management servers may have 3 components: 1. Essential: A gateway to NAS, providing the functions required to ensure that the NAS solution can deliver the output required. 2. Essential: Interface to cameras and mobile units. This element is dependent on the existing mobile units and NRD systems in place for each LEA; therefore must be tailored to each LEA. 3. Optional: Local ANPR functionality. This element is entirely down to the working practices of the LEA. It may provide a level of local search capability for when connection to NAS is not available or interface to other systems. Suppliers will need to develop a management server that meets the requirements laid out in the NAS Gateway Specification and work with LEAs to ensure that the system can support the existing local infrastructure.
