Document Reference: SCL-PS-001
Version: 1.0
Classification: Procurement & Commissioning Specification
Framework Family: SAFECHAIN™ LIVE™

Purpose

This Procurement Specification sets out the minimum capability requirements for organisations seeking to procure, implement, pilot, commission, or evaluate SAFECHAIN™ LIVE™ Predictive Safeguarding Infrastructure.

The specification is designed to support:

  • public sector procurement;

  • event organisers;
