The Sussex Police Safer Roads Team are committed to protecting the road users of Sussex, as part of Operation Crackdown we work with members of the public, volunteers and officers to gather intelligence and investigate occurrences of poor driving within our communities. As part of our commitment, Sussex Police is looking to work with suppliers to deliver three requirements related to anti-social driving and community speed watch. • A front-end product that offers the public the ability to report anti-social driving (inc. video submissions/journey cam) in a streamlined manner. (Anti-Social Driving) • A product that offers Community Speed Watch volunteers the ability to record speed results. (Community Speed Watch) Both of the above must feed into: • An effective back-office function for the case management and investigation of anti-social driving and community speed watch, allowing interoperability between teams and clear reporting mechanisms. This solution must also be able to provide the following functionality as a minimum: o Batch print educational letters – These are sent to drivers following a report or investigation. o Produce performance reporting data which will enable governance and oversight o Allow for customer facing messaging o Integrate with government databases including DVLA and PNC to automatically carry out DVLA checks to obtain registered keeper details and allowing Officers to carry out Policing National Computer checks. o Assignment of casework to officers Objectives: Where possible, we are eager to explore single solutions that can meet the requirements above, or as a minimum have the operability to connect between systems to ensure information is accessible and remove the need for double handling of information. The solution(s) will need to be hosted either in the Sussex Polices cloud environment or within a vendor hosted cloud infrastructure. The solution must be modern, future-proof, fully supported, and accessible across multiple devices (including mobile platforms).

The Sussex PCC commissions a range of services including specialist services that work collectively within a Victim Hub approach. This commission is to provide both direct support for victims and witnesses of crimes or a restorative solution as part of the Sussex approach to supporting victims and witnesses of all crime. The direct offer for victims and witnesses will provide tailored support to those deemed vulnerable either by personal vulnerability or by the type of crime experienced or witnessed for Sussex. However, there are existing commissioned support services that work with those deemed to be in need of specialist support for domestic abuse, rape and sexual violence and stalking therefore this offer is to provide support for those that fall outside of this existing service provision. The restorative and mediation solution, however, is again countywide but does not have the same restrictions.

The Joint Transport Service (JTS) for Surrey and Sussex Police is responsible for a police fleet of over 2,000 vehicles operating over 20 million miles per annum and four vehicle workshops across Surrey and Sussex. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex with and on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey (the Authorities) will be seeking bids from suitably qualified organisations to provide vehicle repair services to this Fleet. The services shall be provided on a non-exclusive basis, under a multi-supplier Framework Agreement that will run for four (4) years. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex (PCC for Sussex) is acting as the lead for this procurement process and will undertake the selection and appointment of successful bidders onto the Framework Agreement. A Framework Agreement is where suppliers appointed to it, under a lot or lots, are eligible to be allocated further work. This is exclusively only open to those companies listed within the Framework Agreement. This upcoming Tender exercise is the mechanism which sets up the Framework Agreement. The core requirement will be to provide repair services to damaged vehicles following the Thatcham Repair methods through EScribe. The services are to include but not be limited to vehicle collection/delivery, inspection, adjustment, restoration, replacement of body and paintwork, assemblies, components, general and specialised repair work. SMART repair services can be provided in a workshop or as a mobile service. Vehicles in need of repairs are typically owned, leased or in the property of either Sussex Police or Surrey Police; in some cases however they will be third party vehicles. While most vehicles are passenger cars or light commercial vehicles, a small number are classed as heavy commercial and specialist vehicles over 7.5 Tonnes. Due to the nature of the Authorities' business, specific storage requirements will apply to vehicles repaired at the Contractor's premises. It is envisaged that Contractors will be selected for work based on their area of specialism and ability to carry out the specified service within the expected time-frames and cost. The Authorities provide emergency services to the general public and therefore, as well as the quality of repairs and cost being important factors, the availability of vehicles and therefore downtime is also critical to the vehicle repair services. It is imperative that organisations to be included on the contract understand the impact of excellent transportation particularly for Police Services and should at all times show professionalism and competence. Due to the ad-hoc nature of the requirement, all types, volumes or quantities of business indicated are estimates only and cannot be taken as a definitive commitment.
