## Summary

Bluelight Commercial Ltd, on behalf of the Home Office and Police Digital Service, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) through a Prior Information Notice (PIN). The procurement is in the planning stage with an industry focus on IT services, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This process aims to collect market intelligence regarding managed services and cloud hosting for Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) software by KMD PlassData. Interested parties should note key dates: clarifications close by 10:00 on 12th September 2024, and RFI responses must be submitted by 10:00 on 16th September 2024. The procurement focus is nationwide within the UK, and the proposed timetable suggests a potential tender publication in November/December 2024 under the new Procurement Act 2023.

This PIN and RFI represent significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in managed IT services and cloud hosting solutions. Suppliers with capabilities in software and data migration, cloud platform management, and managed services will find this tender particularly aligned with their expertise. Smaller IT consultancies and larger service providers alike can leverage this opportunity to engage with a high-profile client such as the Home Office, enhancing their portfolio and driving innovation within public safety solutions. The electronic tendering portal In-Tend is being utilised for this procurement exercise, providing a streamlined process for interested suppliers to engage and respond.
