UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire is currently in the planning stage of procuring a Command and Control System, which includes a Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) solution, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, and Integrated Communication Control System (ICCS), along with necessary telephony solutions. This initiative is targeted at enhancing the operational capabilities of Nottinghamshire Police. The procurement process is under the tag "planning", with key pre-market engagement activities scheduled to conclude by 7th July 2025. The buying organisation, located at Sherwood Lodge, Nottingham, is focusing on a project that encompasses regions across the United Kingdom, emphasising the substantial national scale of the procurement under the CPV code 35710000, which pertains to command, control, communication, and computer systems. The procurement stage is currently set as planned, with an anticipated contract period from January 2027 to January 2034.

This tender offers significant growth potential for businesses specialising in IT solutions, communications systems, and integrated control systems, especially those that can provide either cloud-based or on-premise capabilities. Companies with expertise in developing robust telephony solutions that can function independently of broader systems will also find this opportunity promising. Organisations experienced in large-scale governmental projects and those capable of meeting sub-central public authority requirements within the UK public sector stand to benefit greatly, as involvement in such projects can demonstrate their capacity to service complex, high-value contracts. Engaging with this pre-market activity can enhance businesses’ competitive positioning, facilitating valuable dialogue with the public sector and refining their approach to large, integrated systems deployment.
