Home Office – Police and Public Protection Technology (PPPT) – Police Systems Migration

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done The Police Open Systems currently reside in a traditional datacentre and provide extended capability to police forces on top of the services provided by the Police National Computer (PNC). The software and infrastructure on which these systems reside is not of a satisfactory status or versioning, and as such there is a desire to migrate these systems to Amazon Web Services. Problem to Be Solved A Partner is required to support the programme team providing the following services: 1) Design of new AWS architecture to support existing Police Systems, inclusive of all Storage, Network and Compute elements; 2) Support Accreditation of architecture in step 1; 3) Transition of live services to new AWS tenancy upon successful authority to operate; 4) Support UAT and Go Live activities; 5) A highly skilled team, supported by a wider organisation that shares best practice, and works together with Home Office to achieve the outcomes. Who Are the Users Police & Law Enforcement Agencies. Early Market Engagement Work Already Done Many internal discovery exercises have taken place already. There is an in-depth knowledge of the current systems and configuration within the existing project team. An existing Home Office AWS Subscription is in place and will be used for this solution.
