7 Co-ordination 7.1 The Contracting Authority would be receptive to the appointment of a senior resource within the team.

The appointed individual shall act as the single point of contact (SPOC) for the team and be responsible for coordinating work activities in accordance with requests received from the local Detective Inspector (DI).

The individual shall demonstrate the capability to supervise a small team, manage work activities in a structured and methodical manner, and prioritise workload based on risk and operational demand.

The Service Provider shall ensure that appropriate quality assurance (QA) processes are embedded within the service delivery model to minimise rework and avoid creating additional workload for DIs.

7.2 The Service Provider shall provide a dedicated team capable of operating in a largely self-sufficient manner and accepting tasking directly, subject to the formal adoption of agreed processes.

The allocation of individual resources on an ad hoc basis shall not be the Contracting Authority's preferred delivery model.
