Description

The Police ICT Company wishes to undertake a compliant EU tender exercise to establish a national Framework Agreement for the purchase of Covert Management System and Associated Support and Maintenance for a period of 4 years from
20 February 2017. The Framework Agreement will be made open for use by all UK police forces and certain Agencies and in doing so allowing them a quick legal route to market. This Framework Agreement is anticipated to be in place by 20th February 2017 giving Forces adequate time to purchase a system within the 2016-2017 Financial year. This Framework Agreement will only be extended to UK police forces and certain Agencies and not to the wider public sector or security market.The Police ICT Company will be the lead for this procurement and establishment of this Framework Agreement and individual forces / regions / agencies will enter into contract direct with their appointed supplier.

The Framework will consist of 2 lots:
Lot 1 - standard call-off fixed price - for the software, licensing and support and maintenance costs. This will also include a fixed-rate card for installation, upgrade and any other development work required. This Lot will be a direct award only and prices will not be negotiable.

Lot 2 - The initial basis of any software, licensing and support and maintenance shall be the detailed set of requirements forming part of Lot 1 but these may be modified, amended and added to by a force / region / agency as part of any particular Mini Competition. For example the objective criteria for selecting to re-open competition would be on the basis of the particular location of the force / region / agency, the quantity of services required and the fact the contract has particularly complex requirements.

This Framework Agreement will include pricing reviews, product updates, innovation and development and supplier reviews to verify that it remains a preferred route to market and continues to provide value for money.
