Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, managed by the Home Office located at 2 Marsham Street, London, concerns the "ESMCP Control Room Systems Upgrade to ensure compatibility to the Emergency Services Network - Motorola". This tender, categorised under software development services, underwent a direct procurement method, culminating in an award to Motorola Solutions UK Limited. Situated in London, the procurement aligns with the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme. The contract was signed on 1st July 2026 and spans until the end of 2029, with potential options for extension. This aligns with legal specifications outlined in UKPGA 2023/54, reflecting the compatibility and continuation of existing systems.

This contract represents a significant financial prospect, valued at over £13.4 million, offering vital services to emergency service organisations. Ideally suited for businesses involved in software development, particularly those experienced in Integrated Communications Control Systems, the direct award approach was selected based on Motorola's existing proprietary technology and integration ease. Companies seeking similar opportunities but lacking this technological compatibility should consider partnerships that augment their technical offerings to meet such exacting standards. This project not only promises direct financial benefits but also positions firms to leverage ongoing relationships with essential public sector entities.

Notice Title

ESMCP Control Room Systems Upgrade to ensure compatibility to the Emergency Services Network - Motorola

Notice Description

This Procurement seeks to establish contract with a Supplier as a vendor of Integrated Communications Control Systems (ICCS) and non-ICCS software to 3ES Organisations and the Home Office, specifically the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme ('ESMCP'), for the provision of software development and supporting services.

Procurement Information

Review of Schedule 5 - subsection 7 Additional or repeat goods, services or works 7. The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where-- (a)a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and (b)the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. Additional information The ownership of the control room systems software relationship is between the User Organisation and the Control Room System Supplier. The existing suppliers own the IP that is required for the software and therefore no other supplier is able to upgrade the existing software.
