Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service (PDS) is managing a procurement process involving the TETRA Airwave Terminal Products and Services under the title "TETRA 2022". This procurement falls under the industry category of radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment, and focuses on goods delivery. The procurement, primarily situated in the United Kingdom, has reached the award stage, with contracts active and awarded to Sepura Ltd and Motorola Solutions UK Ltd. Originally planned to run from 2023 to the end of 2026, the contract was extended by six months to June 2027 to ensure service continuity as the Emergency Services Network (ESN) is developed. Policymakers will work with the awarded contractors to deliver added supplies, ensuring they meet enhanced demand and new technical standards with a substantial contract increase to £75,000,000.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for large-scale firms with expertise in supplying TETRA-compliant radio equipment and related services. The interested parties should be capable of delivering high-quality communication and telecommunication equipment and services, comply with strict certification requirements set by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), and demonstrate a proven track record in security and emergency communication sectors. Firms involved would benefit from a long-term association with the PDS and the potential to establish themselves as key suppliers within the UK public safety communication infrastructure. This contract facilitates competitive engagement for proficient suppliers able to navigate the complex requirements of radio communication systems and meet the ongoing demands of the PDS and its associated organisations.
