Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade, located in London, UK, has completed the procurement process for a Mass Notification System. This procurement falls under the services industry category and was managed through a direct procurement method as a below-threshold contract without competition. The main deliverable involves the provision of a critical alerting and emergency communications service, executed through the Everbridge Europe Limited platform. The effective contract for this procurement began on 5th June 2026 and is set to run until 5th June 2028, with an optional 12-month extension. The overall contract's value is approximately £92,216, with a gross amount of £110,659.16. The contract was signed on 5th June 2026, and the associated award stage is active, ensuring the continuity of vital communication services for the department.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electronic message and information services, especially those capable of delivering robust software solutions for emergency communications. Although the procurement was facilitated directly without a competitive process, similar future opportunities could encourage participation from large-scale enterprises and those demonstrating innovative approaches to secure communication platforms. The ability of participating companies to provide comprehensive, scalable solutions that cater to urgent notification services would position them well for success in this or similar procurements initiated by governmental organisations like the Department for Business & Trade.
