Payment obligations depend on the applicable regime and contract. Consult the official documents.
Coverage: 0 active published awards; 0 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
We are seeking to procure hosting and associated services for the operation of the Child Abuse Image Database (CAID). CAID is the UK national media and hash store that supports the identification of the victims depicted in indecent images and videos of children and offenders that possess, distribute, and produce such media. CAID originally went live in 2014 and continues to be expanded and improved through an ongoing transformation programme. The current contractual arrangement for CAID Hosting and associated services, is due to expire and in order to obtain value for money, CAID is looking at establishing contracts with relevant providers for the following services, and the intention is to divide the requirements into lots. The length of the contracts are anticipated to be three years with two possible single year extensions, i.e., 3+1+1 years. It is intended that: • Selection Questionnaire shall be issued approx. September 2022 • The Invitation to Tender (ITT) shall be issued approx. November 2022, • Contract Go-Live shall be approx. April 2023, and • The new service shall be in operations before September 2023. Procedure: The Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 Restricted Procedure (with NDA completion). If you can see the following text anywhere within this PIN, it is not correct: "The contract(s) will be awarded without publication of a further call for competition.:" This is correct: "The Authority will issue a “call for competition” notice in due course.
