Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) has completed the award stage of a procurement process for the ProCAD Maintenance and Support contract. This contract falls under the services category, specifically IT services: consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement process was carried out through a limited method, justified by the exclusive rights held by Motorola Solutions Ltd for the ProCAD system. The contract, valued at £1,195,469 GBP, will ensure that all hardware and software related to the ProCAD system are maintained and supported from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025, enabling NIFRS to mobilise resources effectively during emergencies.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT support and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in bespoke and critical system configurations. However, due to the nature of the exclusive intellectual property rights, businesses with similar capabilities could explore sub-contractual or collaborative opportunities with Motorola Solutions Ltd. The procurement method indicates a non-competitive award due to unique service requirements, illustrating how specialised businesses can leverage their unique qualifications to secure high-value contracts. This tender underscores the potential for growth in sectors servicing public safety and critical infrastructure.
