## About this tender

The National Business Crime Centre (NBCC) is looking for information from the market on technical solutions to bring together intellligence and information from retailers and retail partners to more precisely and efficiently allocate policing resources against retail crime.

The RCFC (Retail Crime Fusion Cell) is the central intelligence hub of the Tackling Retail Crime Together strategy, ensuring a unified, data driven national response. It integrates police and industry data to create the UK’s most comprehensive picture of retail crime, accessible through a shared, self service intelligence portal.

The NBCC will own the RCFC which will be hosted by Opal on behalf of national policing. The function will be to facilitate the sharing of data and creating operational packs for police forces which provides real time insight on crime trends, offender behaviour, high harm locations and organised crime links, enabling targeted operational and strategic action.

The private sector will fund the platform and a police staff post. The police contribution is facilitating the collaboration platform – albeit we won’t actually ‘own’ the platform or be the Data Controller. Policing will fill the funded post with a data analyst/ scientist to produce assessments of the problem.

Operating under strict security controls, the RCFC enhances collaboration across policing and retail-strengthening efforts to disrupt organised crime groups and manage prolific offenders. It does not replace existing systems; it unifies and amplifies them, acting as the intelligence layer that connects the entire retail crime ecosystem.

Please note that this is not a call for competition.No response to this PME exercise will exclude any supplier from a potential procurement exercise.
