This project oversees the re-tendering exercise of the Escorting and Travel contracts. The Escorting contract is for the secure escorting of detainees within the UK and the Travel contract is for the supply of airline tickets for overseas removals. |
The objective of the SOCA Catalyst Programme is to secure, by 31 March 2012, an integrated physical infrastructure capable of sustaining delivery of our business outcomes, improving operational performance, value for money, recruitment, retention and career development paths. |
The overall aim of COMPASS project is to provide contract provision for accommodation and related services for eligible applicants beyond the current arrangements which are due to expire in 2012 with improved terms and conditions whilst maintaining value for money. The project focuses on the delivery of the procurement and change management of current services to new commercial contracts. Delivery of the benefits is now subject to operational and commercial delivery management and reporting. |
Extend and Blend is a Home Office programme to move the department to a new restricted IT infrastructure and service arrangements, covering around 25,000 users.

The ICW Programme is a business-led change programme with the objective of supporting the Home Office and the former UK Border Agency in achieving their strategic objectives, through the delivery of a world-class case working capability. |
The programmes mandate, as set out in the 2005 Bichard progress report, is to deliver an effective, integrated, national, regional and local information sharing and intelligence capability which will improve the ability of the police and partner agencies to proactively use information for intelligence purposes to:
- Prevent crime;
- Bring offenders to justice;
- Safeguard children and vulnerable people; and
- Professionalise the investigation process.
|
The programme delivered the procurement of a new supplier for a new, more secure passport design, production and integrated centralised personalisation of around 5 million passports a year. Additionally, the Regional Office Printing Equipment project enabled local personalisation of the new passport at IPS regional offices for up to 400,000 premium customers a year. |
The project will ensure that International Operations and Visa Group has contracted commercial partners who will undertake key and specified functions as part of the visa process from 1 April 2014 and which enables the Group to meet its obligations to secure the border, provide good customer service in support of the UK Governments growth agenda and meet our Spending Review obligations. |
The SOCA ISOT Programme is replacing multiple existing ICT contracts with one contract which will enable the necessary step-change in SOCAs capacity and capability to make a difference in the world of serious organised crime and its harmful impact on the public, by contracting for and modernising to an effective, efficient, managed ICT delivery capability. |
The purpose of the project is to retender for the provision of secure accommodation for detained immigration offenders at Colnbrook and Harmondsworth, ensuring any change of contractor is mobilised effectively prior to the expiry of the existing contract. Previously these adjacent Immigration Removal Centres have been run by separate contractors, and this project will commercially combine the two centres enabling operational benefits and financial savings. |
The purpose of this project is to oversee the establishment of the College of Policing by December 2012. |
The main aim of the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) is to deliver mobile voice and data communications services to the emergency services, other public safety organisations and potentially other public sector bodies. The services to be provided under this programme will replace, but are not exclusive to, those delivered under existing contract(s) such as Airwave. |
The programme is responsible for creating the National Crime Agency (NCA) a key priority for the Home Secretary which will deliver a step change improvement in the UKs response to serious, organised and complex crime. |
The Communications Capabilities Development programme (CCD programme) brings together work to ensure that, in a changing communications environment, communications data and interception of communications can continue to protect the public and save lives.
Our ongoing programme reflects the vital role communications data plays in investigating and prosecuting serious crimes such as child sex abuse, kidnap, murder and drug related crime, as well as in public protection such as locating missing persons.

In July 2011, the Home Secretary announced a fundamental reform to the way ICT is managed in the police forces with the establishment of a police-led ICT company.
The reform is aimed at achieving four strategic objectives:
1. To free chief officers and police staff to focus on fighting crime and making their communities safer
2. To provide the British police service with more effective and innovative ICT support
3. To improve value for money from ICT services
4. To ensure services and products support forces and other customers in their drive for interoperability.

Greater identity assurance at the border
Improved public and law enforcement officer protection
Improved judicial cooperation across the Schengen Area
Improved Police co-operation across the Schengen Area. |
