Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BlueLight Commercial Limited, headquartered in Birmingham, UK, has announced a market engagement process for procuring Social Media Management Platforms (SMMP) to enhance communication capabilities for UK emergency services, including police, fire, and ambulance services. The focus is on acquiring a Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) SMMP or a combined SMMP and Live Chat solution. Key stakeholders such as the National Police Chief Council's Digital Public Contact Social Media Lead will participate in the engagement sessions. The planning stage includes crucial dates with sessions scheduled remotely on 18th, 21st, and 22nd October 2024 and the deadline to register interest by 12 noon on 17th October 2024. The initiative falls under the IT services category and has an estimated procurement value of £12,000,000.

This market engagement provides a prime opportunity for IT service providers specialising in social media management and integrated communication platforms to present their solutions and expand their market reach. Businesses experienced in providing comprehensive software solutions, particularly those able to offer unified management of social media and real-time live chat features, are well-suited to compete. Participation in this process allows firms to introduce advanced capabilities and innovations that can address the unique communication needs of UK emergency services, thereby fostering business growth and establishing valuable industry connections.
