Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority involved the provision of Fireground Radios and licences. The contract, identified by MFRS 2526-84, falls under the industry category of radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment, and the procurement was conducted using a limited method. This award procedure was executed without prior publication of a call for competition, calling off from the CCS Framework RM6116, lot 1c. The procurement covered multiple regions across the United Kingdom, specifically from UKC to UKK. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with the contract being signed on 27th March 2026, and a contract value of GBP 38,912. Although the tender lot was initially cancelled, the contract is active with Radiocoms Systems Limited selected as the supplier.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of communication equipment, particularly those capable of providing high-quality radio transmission and reception apparatus. Large-scale enterprises like Radiocoms Systems Limited, which was selected as the supplier, may find similar tenders appealing due to the scope and potential for further extension by 12 months, as indicated in the procurement options. The contract serves as a solid opportunity for suppliers with existing frameworks or capabilities to deliver under CCS Frameworks, aiming to expand their portfolio within regional authorities handling public safety and emergency services. Businesses equipped to manage and deliver robust communication solutions across multiple locations in the UK stand to benefit significantly from such procurement opportunities.
