Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office is planning to hold an Early Market Engagement (EME) event for the procurement of services related to the new national Fire and Rescue Data Platform (FaRDaP). This initiative, titled "Fire and Rescue Services Data Platform PIN Notice," falls under the IT services category, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support services. The event aims to gather market feedback on the provision of Cloud Hosting, Infrastructure Software Support, Helpdesk Services, Application Software Support, System Support, Continuous Improvement, and Change Management Services. Interested suppliers must register their interest by 12 Noon on 30 January 2025, via the techUK link provided. Furthermore, the procurement process is in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 16 June 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT and data management services to collaborate with a major government department. Contracting for the FaRDaP project could pave the way for long-term partnerships and substantial business growth, especially for firms experienced in cloud hosting, system support, and continuous improvement services. Given the scope and scale of the project, companies with established expertise in national data platforms, software development, and support are well-positioned to compete effectively. Participating in this EME event also allows businesses to influence the market approach and prepare for any subsequent formal procurement processes initiated by the Home Office.
