Description

Establishment of a mini-framework to source and deploy qualified persons/teams to UK Overseas Territories. The Term of the Framework Agreement is expected to begin in late May/early June 2025.

Total Quantity or Scope

Purpose & Strategic Alignment: The UK has a legal and constitutional responsibility for its Overseas Territories. Whilst the territories are largely self-governing, the UK retains ultimate responsibility for security including law and order. The UK is required to step in either (a) when invited to do so by the local government; and/or (b) when the local government’s law enforcement is visibly overwhelmed. The objective is to have a flexible call-down facility with up to five suppliers to allow UK qualified investigatory or other specialist law-enforcement expertise to be sourced and deployed quickly and compliantly. These requirements will be subject to mini-competitions under the framework testing both price/vfm and quality/technical merit.
