Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Police is initiating a procurement process for an Integrated Communications Control System (ICCS) to support its operations across the North East region of the United Kingdom. This tender is within the "Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment" industry category. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with key milestones including an engagement end date on 4 November 2024. Interested suppliers are invited to participate in a Request for Information (RFI) to help shape the upcoming tender. The procurement method involves market engagement with responses requested by 12 noon on 4 November 2024.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in communication control systems and related technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement is suitable for them. The contract involves maintaining and possibly replacing Northumbria Police's current ICCS, excluding full telephony capabilities, as the Force uses a different system for managing 999 and 101 calls. Businesses with expertise in communication systems, especially those with successful SME operations in similar fields, stand to benefit substantially from engaging in this procurement process.

Notice Description

Northumbria Police invites suppliers to participate in a request for information (RFI).

Northumbria Police intends to procure a replacement for its current ICCS to maintain the requirement to provide support to resources deployed throughout the force via the Airwave radio network. While the full scope of this procurement is not yet defined, we anticipate the exclusion of full telephony capability as the force employs a different system to manage incoming 999 and 101 calls to the organisation.
