CoLP - Origin

The duration of the contract is 2 years with a 1-year option to extend.

This was a Direct Award based on the niche service and bespoke requirement for the City of London Police. The same supplier was critical as a gap in service/new supplier mobilisation would've had a detrimental impact.

The framework being used is CCS' RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions.
