Emergency and Blue Light Services have used critical incident and public safety management systems for many years, and their capability to perform a wide range of complex tasks is constantly increasing. Other public sector organisations also manage their public spaces and events using technology to be more efficient and effective.
Whilst developing this solution, YPO engaged with many suppliers and potential customers to ensure this DPS allows the flexibility to implement a wide range of solutions from off-the-shelf software to full end-to-end solutions. The DPS allows new suppliers to be added, which enables this growing and innovative market access to public sector procurement and gives customers the ability to use them.
This may be for a new solution, amendment, or upgrade of an existing solution, from a single boxed order through to the full deployment of a software solution the associated hardware and ancillary services.
This may include commercial off the shelf software (COTS), open-source software, software licences or niche and bespoke software. Solutions may be cloud hosted, on premise, or via hybrid and are to incorporate technologies that are currently available and those which will evolve through the lifetime of the DPS.
