Description
The Home Office's International Strategy & Capability Unit (ISC) provides capability and capacity building for foreign governments in the following thematics:
Policing
Fire and Rescue
Cyber Security
Strategic Intelligence and Threat Assessment
Border Security and Illegal Migration
National Risk and Resilience
This is executed either directly through agreements with foreign governments, through other UK Government Departments (e.g. FCDO) or working in partnership with other parts of the Home Office.
Our approach to executing this is to employ a blended mix of policy, PPM and SME resources supported by industry, academia and uniformed services under the Home Office umbrella.
ISC's mission is to support the Home Office priorities in preventing harm coming to the UK, to provide our expertise to other Departments to help deliver their objectives as well as supporting wider Government initiatives such as Prosperity by:
1. Developing and maintaining a centre of excellence, the International Portfolio Management Office (IPMO), both to execute our own projects as well as aid other Home Office areas with theirs.
2. Growing and maintaining our network of suppliers and partners in the thematic areas covered and continuously developing our depth of expertise to deliver in a flexible, timely, safe and effective way.
3. Working with FCDO colleagues to advise and deliver on projects related HO thematics.
4. Develop G2G agreements to directly contribute to growth and prosperity agenda and work with industry, academia and government partners e.g. DBT to ensure we maximise these opportunities.
This framework is being procured to support the delivery of our mission.
