The Code List Management Service (CLMS) was developed by the NPIA, which now wants to hand the system over to a "partner" organisation to manage and run it as a commercial service.
CLMS was designed to manage data standards, and the way they are used to build new systems and link them together. The NPIA said that police officers have been using it to send and receive data and view key intelligence.
It is also being used by every police force as part of the process of preparing data for sharing through the Police National Database (PND), which will enable police to access and share intelligence held on local systems.
According to the NPIA, the CLMS has the potential for wider use, and allows users to manage, maintain and publish their data standards. It says that the commercialisation process will be in line with the Treasury's Wider Markets Initiative, which enables government departments to develop and sell new goods and services.
Richard Earland, chief information officer at the NPIA, said: "The NPIA is proud to have developed this system on behalf of the police service and to be leading the way in bringing innovative solutions to government and the private sector. CLMS also advances the government's agenda for better common data standards by providing a service for distributing data more efficiently."
