Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Hereford & Worcester Fire & Rescue Service is undertaking a significant procurement process titled "Defford Link Point to Point," which falls under the disaster recovery services category. This tender is currently complete and has been executed through a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £104,653.30, was signed on 1st May 2021 and involves implementing a point to point link from the HWFRS HQ at Hindlip to the WMP Defford site. The main geographical focus is in the region of Worcester, UK, with an emphasis on providers capable of delivering high bandwidth connectivity solutions.

This tender presents an opportunity particularly for businesses specialising in telecommunications and data solutions, notably those that can provide infrastructure services for advanced connectivity projects. Enterprises with capabilities in disaster recovery and business continuity services would be strategically positioned to compete, especially given that British Telecommunications PLC is the confirmed supplier, suggesting a limited field for competition. Furthermore, companies offering niche services that align with the specific requirements for a 10Gb and 1Gb point to point link will find this an auspicious avenue for business growth.
