Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has recently concluded a public procurement process for the "999 Eye" service, falling under the industry category of Software package and information systems. The procurement was a direct award for a contract valued at £120,465, to be delivered by Nec Software Solutions. The contract commenced on 1 October 2024 and will run until 30 September 2027. This initiative enables the public to stream live footage from their smartphones directly to the Control Room during a 999 call, thereby enhancing real-time situational awareness for Control Room Operators in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those with expertise in live streaming and telecommunications integration. Even though the contract was directly awarded and does not support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), similar future tenders could offer substantial business growth for companies adept at creating innovative solutions for public safety and emergency response services. Such businesses would do well to explore and develop technologies that can integrate seamlessly with existing emergency response systems.
