Background/Opportunity Overview The current National Firearms License Management System (NFLMS) is a computer system designed to record details of individuals who apply for firearms certificates, the certificates themselves, and the firearms and shotguns licensed to those people who hold certificates. NFLMS is used by forces teams across England and Wales and these teams conduct approximately 170,000 licence grants, renewals and variations per year. While NFLMS delivers capability to support its core function of acting as a record of certificate holders, the system has remained relatively unchanged over the 15 years it has been in service while new requirements for the system have emerged. In addition, the current NFLMS system has always been a challenge to change and adapt as requirements, technology, legislation and/or policy changes. A key requirement of the new system is that it is flexible, adaptive to change and future refinement The Authority is therefore seeking to ascertain the market's appetite and interest in this new software development and build programme by attending the early engagement event stated above and subsequently, by responding to a Request for Information (RFI), that will be issued directly after the event to interested parties wishing to demonstrate their knowledge, and capability of delivering complex software solutions. Indicative contract term and value of business: Baseline capability: Up to 24 months Delivery of product backlog: 1-5yrs Potential value of Business: Initial baseline /MVP build, Backlog and Application Support £5 - £20m . There will also be an opportunity to offer additional and alternative continuous improvement as part of the Request for information (RFI) process. On going application Support will also be a consideration.
