UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office, a central government public authority located at 2 Marsham Street, London, initiated a procurement process for the upgrade of Control Room Systems to ensure compatibility with the Emergency Services Network (ESN) under the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP). This upgrade will be provided by MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED. This direct award procurement follows a rationale based on technical and intellectual property exclusivity, given that the existing supplier owns the necessary IP for the software. The tender is part of the services category of the procurement process, valued at £13,454,669 GBP with a contract period from 6th August 2026 to 4th February 2030, and an optional extension of 12 months. The procurement process is in the award stage with a final signature date scheduled for 5th August 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and integrated communications control systems (ICCS). As the contract encompasses software development and supporting services for 3ES Organisations and the Home Office, businesses possessing technical capabilities in software innovations in the field of emergency services can potentially capitalise and expand their services portfolio. The procurement particularly suits enterprises adept at handling extended technical collaborations with existing government frameworks and those capable of navigating intellectual property constraints, specifically under exclusive supplier agreements. The procurement environment offers businesses a platform to reinforce their footprint within the public sector’s emergency service networks.

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.
