We have access to consultancies that specialise in understanding and resolving policing problems.  Here are some service examples:

Procurement Readiness for IT transformation

Forces, regions, and government bodies are continually upgrading their IT systems and must decide whether to buy or build software solutions. Through Matrix Milestone, you can procure a consultancy service that compiles existing discovery work and assesses technology market options, including demos, licensing, deployment, and security details. This output can be used directly for any business case and clarifies requirements before tenders, aligning business needs with final solutions.

Target Operating Model & Service Design

Police departments often face tight budgets, making efficiency savings challenging—especially as they adapt to changing needs or form new units. Through Matrix Milestone you can procure a service that evaluates existing organisations/departments from a PPIT (People, Process, Information, Technology) standpoint and identifies improvements aligned with your organisation’s strategic goals. The service delivers play books, service catalogues, and implementation roadmaps, and can also handle implementation to support organisations on their path to continuous improvement.

Landscape Review

National oversight of portfolio issues across all UK Police forces can be challenging.  This makes it difficult to identify if national programmes need to be reinvigorated, realigned or restructured. Through matrix milestone you can procure a service that conducts this landscape review for you, engaging with all relevant stakeholders through interviews, workshops and questionnaires.  Unlike standard reviews this incorporates real time data analysis and benchmarking against best practices, ensuring recommendations are evidence based and practical, setting the foundations for onward programme design and delivery.
