Presentation

The ANPR and sensors program is housed within the Directorate of Police Information and ICT (DRI) of the Federal Police. The Directorate is responsible for preparing the policy and rules for information management and processing, developing the police information concept, establishing technical norms and standards, and implementing information and communication systems.

Project

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) uses intelligent cameras that recognize license plates. The system then compares these scanned license plates with already available data (stolen or reported vehicles, whether or not they are permitted to drive in certain areas, etc.). Within the police force, ANPR is used in the context of road safety and judicial assignments.

The intention is to increase the type and volume of the various sensors through the program over the coming years, thereby fully committing to quality, safety, and performance. This has an impact on central systems, the flow and storage of information, etc.

Mission

As an IT Technical Expert in Public Procurement, you will put your IT knowledge as well as your experience in public procurement at the service of the ANPR and Sensors Program to support upcoming objectives and contribute to a new public tender for cameras and sensors.

The IT-correct drafting of the new market is crucial to launching a good public procurement contract that fits within our standards and is simultaneously future-proof.

Given the need for central connection of the cameras, it is important to have sufficient IT technical insight to contribute to matters such as connectivity, flow, storage and security of information, compatibility of specific technological solutions, life cycle management, etc.

You provide the IT technical support required for all steps in the process of the new government tender:

- market analysis (existing and future solutions from camera manufacturers and integrators)
- needs assessment (mapping the operational and technical needs of the Integrated Police and its partners)
- developing technical requirements
- suggesting SLAs




- assist in drafting selection and award criteria.

All these activities must be carried out within the legal framework surrounding public procurement, with a focus on transparency, objectivity, and equal treatment.

Regarding existing contracts for IT applications running within the program, follow-up is required for the substantive revision of service catalogs and the monitoring of performance in accordance with contractual agreements (SLAs), quotations, contract revisions in the context of security updates, etc.

You ensure a good structure and make every effort to adhere to predetermined timings.

Where necessary, you adjust the schedule, and you are able to communicate clearly and transparently about this and provide the necessary reporting.

You build a good relationship with internal stakeholders within the police and also help coordinate the various initiatives with external partners to ensure the success of the initiatives.
