Technical requirements: The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has a requirement to procure a strategic partner to develop, support, maintain and provide services for future development and enhancement of a new Criminal Justice Data Sharing (CJDS) solution. The current data sharing service is a strategically important integrated data sharing messaging system which supports information sharing between the Authority’s case management systems, the five main NI Criminal Justice Organisations (CJOs) via Causeway and the Police National Computer (PNC). It is anticipated that the CJDS Contract will be for a maximum contract period of ten (10) years (plus a development and implementation period). This is likely to be on the basis of an implementation period from the effective date to the operational service commencement date, followed by an initial contract term of five (5) years plus three optional extension periods of two (2) years, two (2) years and one (1) year.

The successful Contractor’s performance on this Contract will be managed as per specification and regularly monitored see Procurement Guidance Note 01/12 Contract Management: https://www.finance-ni.gov.uk/sites/default/files/publications/dfp/PGN-01012-Contract-Management-Principles-Procedures-25-Sept-2017.PDF Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in Central Procurement Directorate for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Written Warning and Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and this Contract may be terminated. The issue of a Notice of Written Warning and Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance will result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of up to 3 years from the date of issue of the Notice.
