On the 18 January 2024 at 14:00 – 16:00, techUK is delighted to be hosting the Home Office Crossing the Border Services (CtB) team for a hybrid market engagement event.
Part of the Migrations and Borders Technology Portfolio (MTBP), within the Home Office's Digital Data & Technology directorate (DDaT), the team is responsible for a number of products that control the way the Home Office secures and manages the flow of people and goods across the UK border. CtB will be sharing their business and technology strategies and provide the market with an early view of the requirements for the future services.
The objective of the briefing is to give potential delivery partner(s) the opportunity to understand Crossing the Border service’s future procurement requirements in respect of application development, maintenance and support and inter-related platform services delivered through an established agile delivery model.
The briefing will cover:
- The current service, including technologies and delivery model
- Future services roadmap, including perceived challenges and risks
- Home Office minimum requirements for a future partner(s)
- Potential Timescales for future procurement
Home Office seeks
- To gain an understanding on the market appetite for this type of services to support further market engagement events and activities.
- To gain initial feedback on the scope of services and on supplier’s experience especially in relation to challenges and risks
- To listen to ideas and appetite on how future services can be delivered meeting our stated objectives
There will be the opportunity for questions and answers.
For suppliers who attend the event, in the week commencing 22 January, there will be an opportunity for individual meetings with the Home Office to discuss the requirements in further detail. All meetings will be subject to a Home Office defined Non-Disclosure Agreement.
