About the work

Early market engagement
Who the specialist will work with The programme is comprised of a mixed team of Civil Servants and client side consultants supplemented with SMEs both client and supply side. The programme team also comprises seconded operational and retired Police Officers. The programme also utilises one large supplier (Application Development Support Partner) for most of the build activity associated with LEDS and a collection of small SMEs focused on activities such as data migration, testing and data quality.
What the specialist will work on One of NLEDP's key objectives is to determine the future need for new services to make national data easy to access by frontline officers to inform local policing decisions.
As Relationship Manager, you will support the NLEDP leadership team in securing access to data sources necessary to fulfill the wider data sharing ambitions of the programme. You will engage with data owners to ensure that data sharing requirements and their implications are understood and that plans are put in place to address these in line with Ministerial appetite and direction.
