In plain English
The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime is seeking a supplier to run, maintain and improve the Metropolitan Police Service's computer network, which links users, systems, sites and partner organisations. The contract is estimated at £350 million and also covers the security and service management work needed to connect the network with the wider police IT systems.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver, operate, manage and continuously develop the enterprise network estate end-to-end, enabling secure communication between users, systems, sites and partner organisations. • Carry out the security and service management activities needed to integrate the network with the MPS's wider IT ecosystem. • Manage the day-to-day operation of the Authority's connectivity suppliers, which are contracted separately and directly with the Authority.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The £350 million estimated value and the requirement to run the whole network end-to-end for a large police force, including managing other connectivity suppliers, would most likely rule out small businesses, which would struggle to meet the scale and track record implied by the notice.
