Notice Title
2G CSD Sim cards
Notice Description
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority are seeking quotations for the provision of 2G CSD Sim Cards. The aim of this procurement is to address recently identified issues with our backup emergency mobilising system, which relies on Circuit Switched Data (CSD) over the 2G mobile network. We have identified faults with our current CSD compatible SIM cards and now need to procure replacement SIMs that will continue to support CSD for at least the next two years. This system provides essential backup capability to ensure that crews are reliably and effectively mobilised to incidents. The Contract Term shall be for a period of two years with the option to extend by a further two years at 12-month intervals.
