    Brief

    This opportunity involves developing a digital twin simulation system for football policing operations, starting August 2026. The project will create a virtual model of Hull City's stadium to analyze crowd behavior, safety patterns, and security scenarios. Key deliverables include: (1) pre-season support and baseline modeling for three EPL clubs in Phase 2; (2) real-time insights during the 2026-27 season to support decision-making by the NPCC, EPL, and participating clubs; (3) scenario analysis capabilities including anti-social behavior detection; (4) a user-friendly online platform for stakeholders to access simulations and provide feedback; (5) iterative system refinement from September-December 2026 based on user input; and (6) a comprehensive final report in December 2026 with findings, recommendations, and a development roadmap. The supplier will work closely with policing authorities and clubs to ensure the solution meets operational needs for crowd management and public safety.
