Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service is seeking proposals for the contract titled "RM5706 SO9885 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Standard." This procurement falls within the industry category of Research and development services and related consultancy services. The process is currently at the award stage, with the contract effective from 3rd September 2015 to 3rd October 2015. The tender involved a total value of £21,000 and was designed to address the updated EMC requirements for equipment used by the police, with consideration for the upcoming shift to the Emergency Services Network (ESN). Potential suppliers were required to register on the Crown Commercial Service e-Sourcing Suite prior to expressing their interest.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research, development, and consultancy services related to electromagnetic compatibility. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, especially those with the capability to adapt existing technology and standards to meet the new requirements set by the Home Office. The evolving nature of electromagnetic standards presents a unique market gap that forward-thinking businesses can exploit to drive growth and innovation.

Notice Title

RM5706 SO9885 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Standard

Notice Description

Before being used by the police, all breath alcohol equipment must be type approved by the Secretary of State for the Home Office. This requires it to pass a series of tests mandated by guides to type approval for each piece of equipment (evidential testers or screeners). This includes some environmental testing, including radio frequency interference. Starting in 2016, UK emergency services is likely to begin migration from the current TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) system, to a proposed 4G LTE (4th Generation Long-Term Evolution) based system, referred to as the ESN (Emergency Services Network). This will result in a very different electromagnetic landscape that will look vastly different from when the current standards were drafted. Current EMC requirements are outlined in three separate Home Office Standards (Spec 5, FSS and Speedmeter Handbook) and CAST requires that these must be consolidated in a single updated EMC standard. The current standards can be found at annexes 1-5. Additional information: Potential Providers must first be registered on the Crown Commercial Service e-Sourcing Suite.
