techUK is delighted to be hosting this preliminary market engagement event with the Home Office in support of its National Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) capability.  

The Home Office are looking to engage with potential suppliers ahead of a potential procurement for a National ANPR Application and Associated Services.  

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a critical law enforcement capability used to detect, deter, and disrupt criminality at a local, regional, and national level, including Organised Crime Groups, people traffickers, serious sexual offenders, and terrorists. ANPR is also used to protect vulnerable people from harm.  

ANPR enables police forces throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and other approved Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) to identify those who are using the roads for criminal purposes, whilst protecting the privacy, the rights and the safety of those who use our roads legitimately.   

The current national ANPR service is a live time alarming system with a query, search, report production and data preservation capability as well as national store of data.  It brings together a stream of live ANPR camera data more than 80 million reads a day from England, Wales and Scotland Police forces. This data set is comprised of Vehicle Registration Numbers and associated number plate and vehicle overview images.
