What is being bought

Published requirement description

***THIS IS A CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE***

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire (the “PCC”) and the Chief Constable of Cheshire (CC) are working on a project to implement a reliable and robust Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) to support the investigative process and best evidence to support prosecutions.

The DEMS should be capable of ingesting, processing, and delivering playable digital media from multiple sources.

It is important that PCC and CC are able to gather, review and action media quickly. The agreed service levels should be consistently maintained.

The new system should have a proven and established ability to integrate with third party policing systems and meet the Design Principles Digital Evidence Sharing Blueprint.

The DEMs will provide a direct digital secure interface with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and other key recognised criminal justice practitioners for digital evidence sharing.
