Description

Description: 	12-month procurement of specific Chorus intelligence suite modules identified together with hosting within the Chorus cloud environment.
The requirement has been implemented during the testing phase and will be sustained as Chorus goes live, allowing for potential future increases in licences.  The contract must be in place by 01 May 2024. 
The FIIU engages in open-source research and analysis to support broader Service Police investigations within the Service Justice System (SJS). The existing hardware and software infrastructure, situated on a standalone LAN at the Service Police Crime Bureau (SPCB), has become obsolete in light of the rapidly evolving landscape of digital policing. Consequently, there is a need to modernize and enhance the capabilities of the FIIU to transform it into a fully operational and credible law enforcement agency.
This procurement initiative aims to upgrade and modernize the FIIU's capabilities, addressing the pressing challenge posed by the exponential growth of digital crime in the UK. Extensive market research has identified the Chorus cloud intelligence suite as the optimal solution to meet the business requirements of the Service Police.
The Chorus platform, operating as a secure private cloud, is specifically designed for UK law enforcement agencies engaged in digital investigations with a focus on open-source material. Leveraging a range of disciplines, Chorus facilitates the discovery and analysis of open-source data, transforming it into valuable intelligence and evidence. Notably, Chorus has become a mainstream open-source software solution for numerous Home Office Police Forces and other law enforcement agencies.
The Chorus environment is hosted in the UK in within secure hosting facilities. The Data Centre is Police Assured Secure Facility (PASF) accredited, holds ISO27001 and ISO9001 accreditations and has layered physical and technical security procedures.

Tate Schools Multi-Sensory Game

Tate Schools is a new digital space for teachers and students on Tate's website that will fully launch in Autumn 2025. It will be a prominent and accessible digital destination for teachers, with a comprehensive set of thought-provoking and inclusive resources and tools designed to bring artists, ideas and Tate's collection directly into classrooms across the UK. We are looking for a supplier to produce and deliver an online multi-sensory creation game to complement the range of classroom resources currently available on this platform. The game, or interactive making tool, must be designed and developed with the needs of students with SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) as a priority, specifically students with PMLD (profound and multiple learning disabilities), but which is engaging and usable for all abilities. It should be intuitive to play, with minimal instructions and visual communication (use of symbols and clear icons) prioritised. It should not be dependent on fine motor skills. It must offer a multi-sensory route into digital creativity that is visually and sonically rich - encouraging a playful, exploratory process with a digital outcome which can be shared with classmates/ teachers/ family and friends. Within the game there should be options for materials and encourage process-led making in the classroom using sound/ colour/ texture. The tone and atmosphere of this digital experience should be calming and support engagement and curiosity in the present moment. It could be used as a resource to support students' wellbeing in the classroom.

Student Records System (SaaS)

Royal Holloway University currently has its Student Records System hosted in a managed cloud environment, along with a provision of student recruitment functionality. There is a desire to take a fresh view on the processes that achieve the outcomes required from a Student Records solution, remove technical debt and move to a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, where unnecessary customisation is removed, updates are seamless and the total operational cost is reduced. Given the academic calendar and contractual timelines, RHUL would invite suppliers who can demonstrate they have a proven track record of successfully delivering regulatory returns with a full SaaS solution, for institutions with comparable size. The solution must deliver automated updates (including releases and patching). Tenderers are expected to provide a detailed proposal, aligned with RHUL Terms and Conditions, outlining their approach to delivering a fully operational Student Records SaaS solution. The system should be ready for the Admissions cycle in September 2026 and be fully implemented by August 2027. Proposals should also detail risk mitigation strategies, particularly regarding cost management throughout the this process. This specification document details the requirements the University has with regards to the Student Record System delivered as ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS). The purpose of this is to provide enough detail for suppliers to be able to initially respond to the PSQ and Conditions of Participation. As part of the process in Stage 2 (tendering stage), it is anticipated there will be at least seven dialogues sessions. Tenderers responding to Stage 1 must ensure resources are available should they be successful to the tendering stage. Please see timetable within ITP document for more details. The University is seeking to award a contract for an initial term of seven (7) years with the provision to extend for a further three (3) plus two (2) years, commencing on 30th September 2025, with a number of key milestone deliverable objectives, in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
