Description of the procurement

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire are hoping to attract a recognised provider to deliver innovative solutions in support of the Safer Streets 4 programme in Cheshire. The successful supplier will work with Cheshire Constabulary and the Police and Crime Commissioner to develop a Safer Streets App for use by the communities of Cheshire.
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire hope to attract a provider already working in this area with an understanding of the issues associated with Violence Against Women and Girls; we expect the eventual supplier to have a proven record of delivery in this area; developing innovative technical solutions to assist victims in Cheshire and to make people feel safer.
It is anticipated the successful provider will be recognised leader in this field commensurate with the ambition of this programme which is to set the standard for national good practice in the delivery of IT solutions that meet the identified needs of vulnerable people/ and wider community across Cheshire.
The timescales for the delivery of this programme are challenging as such it is anticipated that the successful provider and indeed applicants will already have a range of products that either meet the needs of this specification or can be easily and swiftly adapted to do so in a short time frame. This needs to be ready for an November 2022 implementation and for completion by September 2023 at the absolute latest.
The intention is to design a public safety app that can be promoted across Cheshire with a basic and enhanced level of functionality.
This procurement is being conducted under the Above Threshold Open Procedure.
