two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The Authority requires a partner to manage, operate and administer the 101 Single Non-Emergency Number (101 SNEN), which allows the UK Public to make non-emergency contact with their local Police Force.

The 101 number receives approximately 30 million calls per year, providing Critical National Infrastructure and supporting 46 UK Police Forces/Police Services in their purpose of protecting the UK Public. It provides the Public with a straightforward means of contacting their relevant local Police Force and removes the requirement for members of the Public to remember the numbers of individual Policing organisations.

The mission of the 101 SNEN Programme is to enhance the capability, efficiency and consistency of this service. Its mission statement is therefore to create:

"A nationally consistent service for non-emergency contact to the appropriate public authority"

The Authority is seeking to deliver its strategic priority of enhancing the critical public service which the 101 Single Non-Emergency Number provides and therefore wishes to establish a relationship with a Supplier that supports this vision in a cost-effective manner.

The estimated annual value of the Contract is in the region of £5.8m - £8.3m ex VAT. This is an indicative value for information purposes only, and the Authority expects to receive optimum value for money proposals as part of the procurement process. The Authority proposes that the duration of the contract shall be for 5 years from the Operational Services Commencement Date (i.e. the date at which the Supplier's Services go live) with the option to extend by up to 2 further years in 1 year increments (i.e. 5+1+1 years).

Throughout this period the Supplier shall be expected to manage, operate and administer the required Services. The Supplier shall be responsible for the set-up, maintenance, up-keep and development of the service in order to maximise value-for-money and ensure the suitable provision of resilience of the national components of the service.
