WFRS and NFRS are seeking a flexible portable system that can be used from multiple secure sites. The solution delivered will allow for inter-operability with WFRS & NFRS. The inter-operable solution will provide separate instances for each services with access to each others. If either service terminates its agreement with the Supplier, the remaining service should not be able to access the separate data of the departing customer. For both WFRS and NFRS the systems need to be fully live by the end of 2022, preferably with the ICCS element going live first (if this is possible). To ensure that the system procured meets expectations NFRS/WFRS are committed to getting the best possible system to suit its needs whilst ensuring that any system will be fully ESN compliant. Further details are included in the ITT and Appendices. Additional information: During the course of the contract period the range and scope of all these services may be subject to modification and variation to meet the changing needs and requirements of both the Council and NFRA, potential changes in legislation and the changing demands placed on the Council and NFRA by their customers and residents. Examples of these are listed in the ITT.

The decision to extend may be taken independently and result in only one party deciding to extend their contract.
