Lot Information
Provision of Aircraft Communication System Devices for ESN
ESMCP is delivering the Emergency Services Network (ESN), a secure, 4G critical voice and data communications service using an enhanced commercial LTE network configured to give priority access for the 3 emergency services (3ES). This Aircraft Communication System (ACS) Procurement formed part of the ESMCP and is responsible for delivering the services and associated equipment to deliver the devices for air-to-ground capability, approved for use on the ESN. There was potential to include satellite technology in the future to complement this capability. This procurement established a framework agreement that the Authority and nominated ESN User Organisations (UOs) can use to procure the required goods and services for use on the ESN. The framework agreement comprised of a single supplier for 10 years with the option to extend for up to an additional 5 years.

"description": "The development of TETRA capability was introduced to the Framework Agreement as part of a previous change, allowing the development of a dual-mode LTE and TETRA Aircraft Communications System (ACS). This modification seeks to add further TETRA scope to enable users to have an interim operating system, before a full operating capability can be developed and finalised. The change covers aspects of installation, configuration, test and operation of the TETRA ACS to allow a streamlined transition to LTE ACS when ESN is ready, reusing most hardware components and pre-installing the antennas and cabling to include in the future LTE system. The change does not alter the duration of the Framework Agreement. The framework runs from the commencement of the agreement until 10 years following achievement of critical milestone 10.6 (the date of which is to be confirmed), with an optional 5-year extension period. Therefore the end date as indicated above is subject to change.",
"rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: There is a critical need to re-prioritise the TETRA element of the ACS solution. TETRA ACS is built upon the concept of improving existing deployed technology and acting as a platform to streamline the transition to the LTE ACS upon its release. It is therefore not possible to separate the TETRA ACS from the LTE ACS as a separate work package without losing one of the key benefits the TETRA ACS brings. Introducing a new supplier for this work would cause significant interoperability issues in terms of access and use of Chelton-owned IPR, meaning that a new supplier would be required to build a new solution from scratch, driving significant inconvenience, substantial duplication of cost and delay. This modification drives significant cost savings by reducing future cost duplication associated with equipment installation. It is unlikely that an alternative ACS could be procured, built and accredited in time to maintain Programme timelines and is considered uneconomical and inconvenient."
