Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) has completed a tender process titled "Support & Maintenance for NIFRS ICCS," which falls under the category of technical computer support services. The procurement method used was a limited process, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The tender was initiated on 9th March 2022, and the contract is active, having a total value of approximately £110,338.70 for the service period from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023, based in Lisburn, United Kingdom.

This opportunity presents potential business growth for companies specialising in technical support services, particularly those with expertise in communication systems. However, it should be noted that competition may be limited due to Telent holding exclusive rights to the ICCS system used by NIFRS, which means only businesses with the necessary rights and technical capability can effectively participate in similar tenders. This scenario creates a niche market for businesses that can meet the specific technical and legal requirements associated with such contracts.
