Opportunity overview

The Home Office is conducting a procurement of a National Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) Service Application and Associated Services (the ‘NAS Application’). ANPR is a vital law enforcement capability used to detect and disrupt criminal activity, protect vulnerable individuals, and support national security efforts. The National ANPR Service (NAS) provides nationwide functionality to policing and law enforcement agencies and processes high volumes of ANPR data to enable vehicle journey analysis, alerting and evidential use. Around 100 million ANPR reads a day are sent to the NAS providing vehicle journey search, alerting and evidential export functionality to policing and law enforcement agencies across England, Wales, and Scotland. The future NAS Application must be capable of managing high-volume, high-demand operations while ensuring data security and privacy. The requirement is for a commercially available ANPR application, configured and integrated to meet the Authority’s business requirements, together with associated implementation, integration, service management and support services. The solution will be required to operate within the Authority’s technical environment, including integration with the National Strategic ANPR Platform (NSAP), which provides core ANPR data services including read collection, search functionality and alerting. The supplier will be responsible for integration of the proposed solution with NSAP and other relevant Authority and external systems. The scope includes: - Provision, configuration and customisation of an ANPR application, including user interface and supporting services; - System integration, including design, build, testing and deployment of the solution within the Authority’s cloud hosting environment; - Integration with NSAP and other systems as required; - Transition into live service, including training and operational readiness activities; - Ongoing service management, support and maintenance of the solution, including incident, problem, and change management; - Continuous improvement and development to meet evolving operational requirements. The solution must support a range of operational capabilities, including vehicle search and analysis, alerting, case management, auditing, reporting and user access management. The procurement does not include responsibility for core NSAP data services, police-owned infrastructure, or Authority-owned system integration management functions, which will remain outside the scope of this contract. Further detail on the functional, technical and service requirements is set out in the procurement documents. The procurement is being conducted under the Procurement Act 2023 using a Competitive Flexible Procedure.

Procedure

Features
Competitive Flexible Procedure The Competitive Flexible Procedure will comprise the following stages: Stage 1 – Conditions of Participation (Procurement-Specific Questionnaire (PSQ)) Bidders are required to complete and submit a Procurement-Specific Questionnaire (PSQ), which will be evaluated in two parts: a) Compliance Assessment (Pass/Fail): Bidders must meet the Authority’s minimum compliance requirements. This includes submitting a complete and compliant response by the stated deadline and satisfying all eligibility and exclusion criteria. Any submission that is incomplete, late, or fails to meet the pass/fail criteria will be excluded from further participation. b) Technical Assessment: Responses to the technical questions within the PSQ will be evaluated, scored, and moderated in accordance with the published evaluation criteria. Subject to meeting any minimum thresholds, the five (5)highest-ranking Bidders will be shortlisted to progress to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage. ________________________________________ Stage 2 – Initial Tender (ITT) Stage Shortlisted Bidders will be invited to submit an Initial Tender. This stage will include a tender submission period, clarification process, and evaluation of Initial Tenders using the published evaluation criteria. Following evaluation of Initial Tenders the three(3) highest-ranking Bidders (subject to meeting any minimum thresholds), will be shortlisted to progress to the negotiation stage. The Authority reserves the right to award the contract on the basis of initial tenders without entering into negotiations where the tenders received are fully compliant and capable of acceptance. ________________________________________ Stage 3 – Negotiation Stage The Authority will conduct negotiations with the selected Bidders. Negotiations will centre upon the detail in Bidders' Initial Tenders and may take place over one or more rounds. The Authority will ensure equal treatment of bidders. While discussions may vary to reflect individual tenders, no bidder will be given a material advantage through the disclosure of confidential or commercially sensitive information. ________________________________________ Stage 4 – Final Tender Stage (Best and Final Offers) Following the conclusion of negotiations, the Authority will invite Bidders to submit a final tender (Best and Final Offer). Final tenders will be evaluated in accordance with the published award criteria to identify the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT). ________________________________________ Stage 5 – Due Diligence (Optional) At its discretion, the Authority may undertake due diligence checks on the Preferred Bidder to confirm that there are no material issues that would prevent contract award or performance. ________________________________________ Stage 6 – Contract Award The Authority will award the contract to the Preferred Bidder submitting the Most Advantageous Tender, following completion of the mandatory standstill period in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to amend, refine or remove stages in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and as described in the procurement documents.
