two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Purpose & Strategic Alignment:
The UK has a legal and constitutional responsibility for its Overseas Territories. Whilst the territories are largely self-governing, the UK retains ultimate responsibility for security including law and order. The UK is required to step in either (a) when invited to do so by the local government; and/or (b) when the local government’s law enforcement is visibly overwhelmed.
The objective is to have a flexible call-down facility with up to five suppliers to allow UK qualified investigatory or other specialist law-enforcement expertise to be sourced and deployed quickly and compliantly. These requirements will be subject to mini-competitions under the framework testing both price/vfm and quality/technical merit.
