Event Roundup: Digital Public Contact Pre Market Engagement

The National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) Digital Public Contact (DPC) Programme supports the ongoing operation and development of Single Online Home (SOH), a national capability providing websites and other digital public services for 41 police forces. The roundtable allowed the DPC team to explore options and gather industry advice ahead of the end of their current key contracts ending in Autumn 2025. With the reliance on the DPC to deliver a consistent and seamless service, the programme is looking at how to ensure that they have a platform that can meet both policing’s and the public’s increasing needs. In doing so, the DPC hosted a summary presentation of the SOH along with an interactive discussion to gain market insight.
