Using a BlueLight Commercial framework is a ready-made solution, saving both time and money as we have already carried out due diligence and supplier negotiation. This means customers get best value through our centralised buying power and can be reassured all suppliers, and products, will comply with required legislative and technical standards. Rigorous operational testing has been carried out to enable customers to buy with confidence.

We maintain the strategic relationships with suppliers, whilst the customer maintains control of operational contract management. We will oversee the implementation and onboarding of the contract, act as a single point of contact and provide an escalation route for any performance issues.

 

Scope of contract

This framework has been set up to enable UK Police Forces to buy systems that support them in managing covert operations, delivering several non-functional requirements and associated software, support, and maintenance.

The software on this framework provides the following:

• Core Module – Planning, Authorisation, Risk Management
• PAS Workflow Operational Requirements
• Protected Person Management
• Surveillance Operations
• Undercover Operations
• Covert Human Intelligence Source (CHIS) management

The framework has the option to direct award to a supplier on the framework, or if there are specific requirements a mini competition can be carried out.
