two.1.4) Short description
The Home Office is the lead government department for immigration and passports, drugs policy, crime, fire, counter-terrorism and police.
The Home Office and policing need to ensure the continuity of the Police National Database (PND) from April 2026. The PND programme is therefore exploring delivery options and seeking market input into requirements and the commercial approach for a potential future competitive procurement.
The PND is currently undertaking a transformation programme designed to increase scalability, update/replace legacy components, and migrate to the Home Office's Law Enforcement Cloud Platform. This procurement is for a service and technical integrator to manage the 'cloud-based' PND service as well as deliver a continuous change pipeline to develop its capabilities and may also include some residual transformation activity, depending on a range of known factors influencing completion.
The purpose of this PIN is to make the market aware of an early market engagement session on 14 November 2023, hosted and facilitated virtually by Tech UK. The market engagement session is a sounding exercise to assist the Home Office develop and sense-check its requirements as well as refine and assure the Department's commercial approach to help ensure any future procurement exercise has the best chance of success.
The intent of this engagement is to:
• Understand market appetite for taking on an existing application and system - albeit transformed and updated with modernised architectural components and software applications
• Understand the market capability to take on existing 'legacy' systems, fully transformed systems, or partially transformed systems
• Connect SMEs with other SMEs and/or larger suppliers who may be interested in collaborating with each other in order to deliver a high profile area of critical national infrastructure
• Seek input for the identification, mitigation and potential management of risks throughout the procurement and contract management lifecycles.
