FS Core Operating System - Project Update

The Forensic Services Core Operating System (FS COS) Project will deliver a fully integrated & future proofed single operating system, the migration of all data for in-scope systems and the decommissioning of un-supported legacy systems as required.

  • The project is tracking green as we remain on track to deliver a Full Business Case (FBC) for submission by the end of the financial year.
  • Given the scale and scope of the project we have sought to procure specialist professional services to support the FBC development.
  • The procurement activity took longer than anticipated due to prioritisation challenges, however, tender returns have been received and are currently under review and evaluation.
  • A progress update will be provided to the December meeting of the SPA Resources Committee.
