This initiative, currently at the planning stage, seeks to gather market intelligence to inform a future business case. The RFI documentation (Reference: BLC0193) became accessible on 14th October 2024, with completed responses due by 12 noon on 25th October 2024. The process is being managed via the In-Tend electronic tendering portal. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, consulting, software development, internet, and support, particularly those with innovative AVMM redaction technology solutions. It is a strategic move to potentially develop a national framework, which could lead to sizeable contracts and long-term business growth. Companies adept in providing scalable and efficient redaction technologies that can meet the unique needs of various police forces in the UK would be well-suited to express interest and contribute to this preliminary information-gathering phase. ## Notice BlueLight Commercial are issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) and a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence and gain a comprehensive understanding of Audio Visual Multi-Media (AVMM) redaction technologies.

It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise only to help inform any potential subsequent procurement exercise including the option for a national framework for AVMM redaction technology. An expression of interest in this RFI exercise is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who participate in the RFI exercise. Should this progress into a procurement exercise, no supplier who has participated in the RFI process will be at any advantage or disadvantage.
