Description
Further to the UK1 Pipeline Notice published on 25th August 2026 by BlueLight Commercial Limited (ref: BLC0348) in relation to Out of Court Resolutions (OOCR) Project, this UK2 Preliminary Market Engagement Notice is issued to invite suppliers to attend a market engagement event. The objective of the engagement is to help the Home Office, National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) and BlueLight Commercial better understand the supplier market, available products, services and capabilities that could support the effective delivery, management and oversight of OOCRs across policing. OOCRs play a critical role in the criminal justice system and are a key mechanism through which policing delivers the outcomes set out in the NPCC National Strategy for OOCRs. The strategy defines six national outcomes that all forces must work towards: Reduce reoffending Address the root cause of offending Build trust and confidence in policing Increase victim satisfaction Eliminate disparity and disproportionality Increase consistency The OOCR project is developing and testing a future operating model for the management of OOCRs. As technology will play an important role in enabling the future operating model, the project is seeking to better understand the products, services and capabilities currently available within the market and how they may support future OOCR delivery. The project is being developed and evaluated with a number of Trailblazer police forces to help validate approaches, evaluate benefits and inform future recommendations. BlueLight Commercial therefore invites interested suppliers to attend a market engagement session on Thursday 24th September at 14:00. During the session we will provide an overview of the OOCR Project and our initial requirements. Following this initial market engagement session, BlueLight Commercial intends to hold one-to-one meetings on 30th September and 1st October with technology providers. These sessions will focus on gaining a deeper understanding of the technology capabilities and functionality available within the market and will provide suppliers with an opportunity to demonstrate relevant products and solutions. Depending on the level of interest, BlueLight Commercial reserves the right to restrict these meetings to technology providers only who have Commercial-off-the Shelf (COTS) systems that can meet the minimum requirements set out within the initial market engagement session.  Suppliers will be required to register via Smart Survey. Please note the procurement route, anticipated publication date, and contract term for this opportunity are yet to be determined. These elements will be confirmed following completion of the market engagement process and development of the Authority’s commercial strategy.  This engagement activity is intended solely to raise market awareness, facilitate communication, and inform the Authority’s approach to a potential future procurement. Whilst BlueLight Commercial Ltd will be conducting any future potential procurement activities, the Contracting Authority is not yet defined. If you have any questions, please contact the BlueLight Commercial ICT Team at nationalict@bluelight.police.uk. It is important to note that this notice is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published in Find a Tender Service (FTS). This preliminary market engagement note is not a pre-qualification questionnaire and is not part of any pre-qualification or selection process and is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise only to help inform a subsequent procurement exercise. Engagement Description The intention is to hold the session remotely via Microsoft Teams on Thursday 24th September at 14:00. The event will be limited to 2 people from each organisation. If you would like to register your interest to attend the session, please do so by completing this survey https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/J8XKOX/, by 12pm on 23rd September 2026 stating the name, role, and e-mail address of each attendee.
