Workshop Services for Technology Horizon-Scanning in Public Safety and Law Enforcement

This procurement relates to the purchase of services from an expert supplier who can prepare and facilitate a series of workshops to horizon-scan existing and emerging technologies and their implications on public safety and law enforcement, and submit a final report on policy recommendations. The horizon-scanning must explore associated considerations (e.g.

privacy and freedom of expression, cyber security of sensitive data, economic prosperity and innovation) alongside the impact of existing and emerging technologies to law enforcement investigations and public safety. The supplier will also ensure that any recommendations consider any interests of, or possible impacts on tangata whenua and the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

The Buyer needs a supplier that has knowledge of the cyber security and relevant technology sectors, and a proven track record of delivering horizon-scanning projects of this nature. This horizon-scanning will gather knowledge on New Zealand agency responses to existing and emerging technology � an important first step in understanding opportunities and challenges to protecting the public from harm.

In this sense, it will form a highly valuable first step in informing how law enforcement and intelligence agencies proactively tackle cybercrime as envisioned in the Cyber Security Strategy and future interventions.
