The Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) has issued a contract tender for up to £800m worth of IT services over 10 years.
The organisation is looking for a supplier to offer application development and maintenance, communications, application hosting, network services, running a datacentre, security management and end-user services.
The services are required in the UK, but may be international in the future, and must be structured in such a way that they can also be used by other government agencies, including the UK border agency, the Identity and Passport Service and the Criminal Records Bureau.
Soca will accept consortium bids, but companies will be expected to form a " single legal entity" should they win the contract.
All tenders must be submitted by 17 March 2009.
