## Summary

The Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland is seeking to enhance its Case Handling System by transferring it to the ITAC secure hosting service. This procurement, classified under IT services, particularly in consulting and software development, is complete, having initiated through a limited tender method due to the urgent need for remote access during the Covid-19 pandemic. The award was officially granted on 1st December 2019, with a total contract value of £499,005. The service will be delivered at the Police Ombudsman's offices in Belfast, UK, addressing significant operational constraints faced by the staff.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for companies with expertise in IT services, particularly those specialising in secure hosting, system consultancy, and software development. Businesses that can effectively demonstrate their capability to facilitate remote access solutions will be particularly competitive. This project not only opens avenues for growth within the technology sector but also encourages collaboration with public organisations looking to modernise their operations.

## Notice

The Case Handling System used by the Police Ombudsman NI is currently hosted locally on a stand-alone server at its offices located in Belfast. There is no remote access to this system and staff have to be physically in the building to gain access. The constraints of this set-up have hindered access for staff when not in the office, which has become a significant issue over the course of the last year with lockdown measures due to Covid 19. As a result, it has been decided modify the contract to move the CHS system (along with other key systems) onto the ITAC secure hosting service which will facilitate access for all staff without having to be physically present in the office.
