Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service has awarded a contract for mobile network resilience to Vodafone Limited. The procurement process, conducted by Hertfordshire County Council, falls under the industry category of "Networks" (CPV: 32400000). This contract, valued at £200,000, will cover a period of 36 months, starting from 1st November 2024 and ending on 31st October 2027. The procurement was carried out through a call-off from a Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Framework Agreement (RM6261). The tendering stage has been completed, and the award was made on 1st October 2024. The services will be delivered in the East of England, United Kingdom.

This awarded contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications sector, particularly those that offer mobile voice and data services. Specifically, companies capable of providing network resilience solutions could greatly benefit from such engagements. Although this procurement was selective and involved a call-off from an existing framework, understanding the needs and rigours of public safety networks can position businesses well for future tenders. However, it should be noted that this particular contract did not emphasise suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).
