The Serious Organised Crime
Agency is putting out an IT contract worth up to £800m.
The Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) advertised the
contract in the Official Journal of the European Union, and will
see the delivery of the agency's integrated information management
and communications infrastructure, which is known as the "2010
Programme".
The shared infrastructure will also be available to the Home
Office, the UK Border Agency, the Identity and Passport Service,
the Criminal Records Bureau, the National Police Improvement
Agency, and UK police authorities.
Soca will award the contract next year and will expect delivery
of its new infrastructure a year later.
