Tender
| Title | Long Arm Software |
| Description | Longarm allows investigations on the internet using a secure platform that cannot be tracked back to the police. It also allows for open-source intelligence gathering. This service replaced the previous Spectrum capability. |
| Status | complete |
| Procedure type | direct |
| Procedure | Direct award |
| Reason for this procedure | This solution has been in force since 2020 with several hundred users trained and using this solution daily. This solution is our non-attributable internet searching capability which has been embedded into the organisation for a number of years and therefore a large number of users trained. There is not another supplier of a similar product and therefore a significant amount of work would be required to change the product. Any new product would not provide the current range of services available from Long Arm. |
