Summary of the contracting process

The Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, based in Sunderland, England, has completed a procurement process for the maintenance of a mobilising and resource management system, resulting in a 6-month contract extension of an original agreement. This procurement, classified under the command, control, communication, and computer systems industry category, reflects an award stage with an active contract starting on 21st November 2025 and ending on 20th May 2026. The contract is valued at £395,000 and is located within the North East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method was identified as a "Contract Extension," and the main focus was on services. The awarded supplier is TELENT COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS LIMITED, a large-scale company.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in command, control, communication, and computer systems, especially those capable of maintaining and updating critical infrastructure systems for emergency services. Businesses in the technology and communications sectors, particularly those experienced with service contracts for public sector clients, would be well-suited to engage with such procurement opportunities. The contract extension ensures continued service within a niche but vital sector, potentially opening channels for long-term engagement with public safety authorities. While the current procurement was not open to SMEs or VCSEs, understanding such processes can prepare businesses for future opportunities with the fire and rescue service sectors.
