The UK’s Home Office wants to spend at least £5 million contract to recruit a supplier to help manage the selection of its IT projects.
The notice published in the public sector Digital Marketplace is seeking a company to help deliver and operate the “discovery-as-a-service” capability for the “Innovation – Law Enforcement” (I-LE) function within the Police and Public Protection Technology Portfolio (PPPT), with a £5 million contract. Parse that.
However, the contract leaves open the possibility of the winning supplier managing the project selection process in favour of services it offers which appears a little unfair to the compeition.
