The Metropolitan Police have revealed plans to update its IT infrastructure after being criticised for outdated legacy systems.

The move to update IT services, comes after the police force was criticised by London Assembly’s Budget and Performance Committee, for the high maintenance costs and limited capability of the current IT framework.

The Metropolitan Police have now placed a tender for a £44 million IT framework, which will provide control room and surveillance capabilities.

A deadline of the November 4th has been given for tender applications to be submitted to the Met for the new framework, with contracts available for supply, support and maintenance.
