About the requirement · From the notice
The purpose of this PME is to understand the market’s capability to provide an eDiscovery Software solution. Note, this is not an invitation for competition. There is the need to provide an eDiscovery solution that is capable of reviewing a vast amount of evidential data obtained from multiple sources, such as Computers, laptops, servers/Cloud storage, mobile devices, Email & social media platforms. The main aim is to provide early identification of evidential material to reduce investigative delays and improve investigative capacity and showcase City of London Police strategic role as the national policing lead for fraud and economic crime by providing a modern digital evidence review capability. The solution will improve significantly the time taken to review case material in serious and complex investigations, particularly those involving corruption, fraud, misconduct, and economic crime. The quantity of digital material can be substantial, and the product needs to be capable of dealing with large volumes on multiple cases and access to work on the system with no issues or performance degradation. Individual investigations may involve multiple devices and potentially millions of documents, emails, images, and communications requiring detailed review. Further information can be found within the Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) Questionnaire. As reqquirements are gathered, we will have a better idea on the total value depending on what's including within scope. The contract start, duration and end dates are yet to be established. These dates are indicative.[E7]
