"The UK's Home Office is inviting tech suppliers to take part in a £60 million "market engagement" for an application that uses data from automated number plate recognition (ANPR) systems. In an official notice published earlier this month, the department responsible for policing, immigration, and passports said it wanted to build an application to support live reporting and integration with the Home Office's ANPR platform, which uses data for investigations and intelligence purposes."
"However, it does specify integration with the Home Office's National Strategic ANPR Platform (NSAP), which "brings together a constant stream of live data from all police forces and a few Law Enforcement Agencies," according to the government's major projects authority. The National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) said: "This data is fed into a central database and allows for various interrogations to be made against the data, producing the results in the form of real-time alerts, near real-time searches and historic searching for vehicles of interest.""
The UK Home Office has invited tech suppliers to participate in a £60 million market engagement to develop an application that uses ANPR data. The planned application aims to provide live-time alerting, control room deployment, search and reporting capabilities, and integration with external systems. Integration with the National Strategic ANPR Platform (NSAP) is specified, which aggregates live data from all police forces and several law enforcement agencies. The NSAP feeds a central database enabling real-time alerts, near real-time searches, and historical vehicle searches. Public perspectives on ANPR range from concerns about invasiveness to views of it as essential for safety and security.
