Australian Federal Police Tender

The Afp Currently Manages Multiple Tracking Ict Applications, Including Cots And In-house Developed Systems (bespoke).  Some Of These Systems Are Reaching End-of-life As They Only Support Devices That Communicate On The Diminishing 3g Telecommunications Network. In Addition, Multiple Systems Are Standalone And Are Not Connected To The Afp’s Common Visualisation Interface. This Reduces The Ability To Share Tracking Information To Operational Members Such As Investigators. The Afp’s Technical Support Staff Are Also Unable To Provide Enterprise-level Support To Tracking Systems That Are Hosted On Standalone Servers And Laptops.   The Afp Has A Requirement To Manage And Monitor Tracking Of People And Objects In Multiple Operational Contexts Including: A.    Red Force Tracking - Determining Or Monitoring The Location Of An Identified Target Person Or Object Under A Warrant Issued Under Part 2 Of The Surveillance Devices Act 2004 (cth), Or An Authorisation To Use A Tracking Device Under Section 39 Of The Surveillance Devices Act 2004 (cth); And B.    Blue Force Tracking - Determining Or Monitoring The Location Of Friendly Forces, Including Afp Personnel, Partner Agencies And The Assets They Control And Protect.   The Afp Is Seeking A Solution That Will Meet The Following Objectives: A.    Consolidate Multiple Ict Tracking Systems Into A Single Management Solution For Devices That Produce Tracking Information; B.    Support The Replacement Of Existing 3g Devices With Lte And 5g Capable Devices; C.    Provide A Geospatial Viewing Display (desktop And Mobile) Of Tracking Data From Both Tracking Devices And Other Sources Of Location Data In Real-time; D.    Provide A Platform That Allows Authorised Users, Including Investigators, Surveillance Teams And Technical Administrators To View And Manage Historical Data For Evidentiary Purposes; E.    Provide A Platform With Consolidated Command And Control Functionality Across Multiple Tracking Devices Including Dedicated Tracking Devices, Tracking Component Of Other Devices I.e. Internet-of-things Devices: Audio, Cameras, Smartphone Blue Force Apps; F.     provide A Common Ingestion Pipeline For Tracking Data Integrated Into The Afp’s Future Ng-lemf To Facilitate Viewing Tracking Data From The Devices On A Consolidated Platform Regardless Of Device Type; And G.    If Required And Specified By The Afp As An Additional Service, Provide Command And Control Capability Via Integration Into The Ng-lemf.   For Clarity, Through This Rft, The Afp Only Seeks To Procure The Solution (being The Utp) And Associated Services, And Does Not Seek To Procure Any Other Part Of The Ng-lemf. The Afp Will Develop The Ng-lemf Outside The Scope Of This Procurement, And Will Be Primarily Responsible For Integrating The Solution Into The Ng-lemf It Develops. The Contractor Will Be Responsible For Ensuring That The Solution Is Capable Of Being Integrated With The Ng-lemf (if And When The Afp Determines That The Solution Will Be Integrated) And Otherwise Ensuring That The Solution Meets The Requirements Specified Within This Sor (as Captured In The Statement Of Work Negotiated With The Successful Tenderer) In Accordance With The Draft Contract.
