Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Screening Tools Framework
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 allows Police and the wider public sector to purchase tools for their OSINT requirements. This software is to provide improvements across vetting, professional standards and ensures a consistent and fair approach to social media checks, which removes unconscious bias and meets GDPR and regulatory compliance.
The use of this software aims to increase efficiencies in the screening process, removing the need to do these checks manually allowing vetting officers to focus on decision making.
This framework has the option to direct award to a supplier on the framework or a mini competition can be carried out.
