Accelerated Capability Environment (ACE)

The Accelerated Capability Environment is a Home Office unit that takes a highly innovative and disruptive approach to solving technology and data problems facing public sector agencies, primarily in law enforcement and national security. It is a partnership between public and private sectors, engaging the most advanced and forward-looking technology capabilities from the carefully selected members of its Vivace industry and academic community, the majority of whom are SMEs and start-ups. ACE has developed ways of working and commercial mechanisms that allow this partnership between public and private sectors to deliver front-line mission impact significantly faster than through traditional procurement routes.
