What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Operational Support Unit (OSU) is nationally accredited to provide covert surveillance for HOIE Criminal & Financial Investigation (CFI), as well as to support Home Office and external law enforcement partners across the UK, working at all levels within the National Intelligence Model (NIM). OSU delivers foot, mobile, technical, covert rural (CROPs) and (soon-to-be) aerial surveillance capability.

As part of a tech refresh programme, supported by ARIS funding, the OSU are replacing DSLR cameras that are approaching end of life with new mirrorless cameras. CFI partners have identified Nikon models as the most suitable for the OSU's role.
