Our RFI is looking to contribute to the early-stage scoping of a new biometric intelligence system hosted on-premises.

Description
Suppliers interested in responding to a Request for Information should complete the NDA in the attached COUPA Sourcing Event. Once suppliers have completed the NDA and provided confirmation of their Security Clearance levels, they will be invited to complete the Request for Information in a second COUPA Sourcing Event. Instructions to follow to those who require it. Estimated RFI release to be August 15th 2025. The down selection of suppliers at this time is based only on security restrictions and will not impact any future procurements. If the Authority continue forward with this procurement exercise the market will be notified, and suppliers will have the opportunity to then again complete the relevant security requirements. Similarly, the market intelligence gathered at the Request for Information stage will not be used to evaluate any suppliers, it will be used to enable the Authority to make educated decisions around our early solution development. Any supplier questions should be channelled through the COUPA Sourcing Event chat function and await response from MPS Commercial. The authority reserves the right to adjust the RFI timescales if required. Suppliers will be able to join the RFI at any time, however they will not be given an individual extension.
