Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process titled "Emergency Services Network (ESN) Locker Infrastructure" was initiated by National Highways, a national agency responsible for operating, maintaining, and improving the motorways and major roads in England. This procurement, classified under goods with the CPV code for lockers, is complete, with the contract valued at approximately £5.82 million for an initial five-year period, signed on 7th April 2022. The project aims to ensure the agency's transition to the Emergency Services Network following the decommissioning of the existing Airwave service, particularly concerning locker infrastructure across service depots in the UK.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs and businesses specialising in telecommunications infrastructure, specifically those capable of providing advanced locker solutions as per the needs of emergency services. Given the importance of maintaining critical communication channels for emergency operations, businesses that can demonstrate expertise in secure locker systems and integration with radio and communication technologies will be well-positioned to compete. The focus on interoperability and enhancement of emergency communication infrastructure should attract a range of suppliers in related sectors.

Lot Information

In order to maintain its access to critical communications and interoperability with the emergency services, National Highways must therefore also transition to ESN.

These lockers, which are located at SP service depots across England are not capable of hosting the ESN handsets and an alternative locker infrastructure will therefore need to be provided.",
