Barred and Advisory List Request for Information

The College is conducting early market engagement in the form of this Request for Information (RFI) in order to explore potential solutions that could meet its requirements as set out in this document.

National Barred and Advisory Lists project is looking to procure a new case management system to better record, share and retain information relating to the Barred and Advisory lists held by the College. The barred list contains details of all officers, special constables and staff members who have been dismissed from policing after investigations under the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2012 or Police (Performance) Regulations 2012 as well as the equivalents for police staff.

The police advisory list is a list of all officers, special constables and staff members who have resigned or retired during an investigation or who leave before an allegation comes to light. It also includes designated volunteers who have had their designated status withdrawn because of conduct or performance matters.

Both the Barred and Advisory lists are used to inform the recruitment and vetting process for 43 HO territorial forces and provide access to the lists to other non-HO forces and agencies via Information Sharing agreements (ISA), to determine if an individual is suitable to be employed. The aim is to have a central store for both lists which can route out the public facing content to the College website and enable a secure means for vetting officers to access other content.

Additional information: Please note that this is a Request for Information exercise and not a formal competition. The College of Policing is seeking information to identify the suppliers in the market who may be able to meet our requirements. Through this process, we are aiming to also aid the development of our specification and identify what the most appropriate route to market is for a future procurement exercise.
