What the notice says
The College of Policing is seeking information from suppliers to better understand the market capabilities and potential solutions for developing a national Lessons Learned database.
This initiative follows the government's announcement in October
2024 that the College will create a system to capture, integrate and share learning arising from investigations into deaths or serious injury (DSI) following police contact or pursuits.
Through this RFI, the College aims to explore secure database solutions that integrate with public-facing websites. We are also seeking to understand suppliers' capabilities in evaluating and developing AI tools and models for two purposes: first,
to generate accurate Incident Learning Summaries (ILS) that describe official reports into death and serious injury cases; and second, to support automated data ingestion that enables resources on specific websites (such as coroners reports) to
be scraped, relevant data to be transformed, validated and imported automatically into the database, reducing the need for manual entry. These requirements are detailed further below.
This RFI is an information gathering exercise, not a formal tender. Supplier responses will help refine the College's requirements and procurement approach for a future tender.
