What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionPolicing require a Critical Event Management System to declare a Critical Event / Major Incident to communicate this to partner organisations.
This can include Fire, Ambulance, NHS, Highways and others.
When declaring a Major Incident, Forces need to ensure this communication goes to the correct organisations. Internal resources may need to be allocated to a major incident and integration with a resource management system would aid the efficiency of the solution.
We are performing market engagement to determine the market capability with managing a Critical Event / Major Incident declaration in a Police Force and communicating this with partner organisations. If you would like to participate in the market engagement and demonstrate your capabilities, please express an interest in this opportunity on In-Tend, read the documentation provided and submit a clarification with contact information and a time slot will be offered for you to present.
