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.
This framework allows police, and the wider public sector, to purchase tools for their live facial recognition requirements.
The scope of the solutions available via this framework includes live facial recognition software licensing, software support and maintenance, software installation, software training, and relevant professional services. Live facial recognition-specific hardware, consumables, and associated hardware support and maintenance services are also available via this agreement.
This framework has the option to direct award to a supplier on the framework or a mini competition can be carried out.
