Description

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), as the contracting authority for Greater Manchester Police, seeks to appoint a software developer to provide a solution that can support GMP’s intelligence directorate with the ingestion, cleansing, integration and analysis of digital data for policing purposes.

Total Quantity or Scope

The solution sought by GMP must be able to: ● Support the analysis of large volumes of data in various formats (structured and unstructured) stored in different databases, some of which must be accessed independently. ● Support the complete analytical process in a single system that minimises the need to create spreadsheets or copies of information that is already captured in police systems. ● (Semi) automate the analytical process by introducing tools that support analysts in efficiently processing and interpreting data. ● Support the identification of individuals, groups, high risk events and locations, as well as new trends, crimes series and themes, and be able to a risk assessment process that can help to ‘surface’ high-risk individuals and groups, as well as categorising (by risk) the full population of known offenders and victims. ● Be able to work across multiple themes or business areas and identify cumulative risk. ● Match the accuracy of a human worker thereby freeing up staff and/or officer time to focus on activities that require more advanced human intervention. The Authority is looking to appoint a supplier with an existing viable software offer, though GMP is willing to work with the successful supplier to further develop and refine the proposed solution.
