The Home Office - PNC Service Continuity Contingency

The Home Office is the lead government department for immigration and passports, drugs policy, crime, fire, counter-terrorism and police. On 24th March 2023, techUK hosted a market engagement event for the Home Office in conjunction with the National Police Chief’s Council. Acting through the Law Enforcement Data Service (LEDS) programme, the department continues to assess the requirement for ensuring a contingency option is in place for PNC and therefore a potential future procurement to ensure the service continuity of the PNC if this is subsequently required. The purpose of this PIN is two-fold:

1. To update the market on the progress we are making and
2. To facilitate the opportunity for you to start mobilising teams and to engage and engineer collaboration activity with other suppliers where you are not represented on RM6100 Lot 4 but would be interested in taking part in the Further Competition as part of a partnering approach.
