Section six. Complementary information
six.3) Additional information
The PND continues to make progress in relation to its transformation programme (to bring PND into the Home Office Law Enforcement Cloud Platform and update legacy technology) and remains confident that full transformation will be completed according to its original schedule.
The market engagement was very successful in terms of level of attendance, engagement and feedback received. We have identified that there is a healthy appetite and market capability in relation to this opportunity and feel that to make the most of this interest a period of revision is required. As a result of the quality of both the engagement and the feedback received, the Home Office will invest additional time to review its requirements and the associated commercial approach. This will naturally include assessing additional CCS Framework Agreements, alongside the Procurement Act 2023 competition procedures to ensure any procurement exercise is optimised to achieve success. We hope to run further market engagement sessions following completion of our assessment activities and successful navigation of the internal and external governance gateways, to encourage market members’ cooperation and networking.
The revised timescales contained within this notice are estimates and indicative only. Any procurement will still be subject to the appropriate internal governance and approvals which could affect estimates provided.
