The outfit which buys tech for UK coppers wants an IT supplier for a huge £500m framework but you are going to have to be quick.
The contract will see the Police ICT Company which, according to its website, “acts as a bridge between policing technological and commercial worlds” work with a supplier to manage the relationships with all its VARs, OEMs and independent software vendors.
The Police ICT Company was set up to help police forces reduce spending in the wake of public sector cuts.
It claims its aim is to “cut the costs of police ICT, reduce duplication, improve collaboration and improve the public’s experience of dealing with the police”.
