Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has awarded a contract for a New Mobilising System, with training, ongoing support, and maintenance, to Motorola Solutions. Located at their headquarters in Cambuslang, the project falls under the public order and safety category. This procurement, crucial for business-critical mobilising systems, was necessitated by the upcoming expiration of the current contract on 31st December 2025. The contract, valued at £31,684,106, was signed on 5th September 2024. Due to extreme urgency, the award bypassed the usual competitive procedures as permitted under Regulation 33(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The entire procurement process has been completed, and the contract has been activated.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses involved in emergency services technology and public safety solutions. Large-scale companies with expertise in system mobilisation, technical training, and maintenance would find this contract especially rewarding. Given the limited procurement process and direct award, businesses capable of providing rapid and reliable solutions were at an advantage. Motorola Solutions, with its robust experience in public safety communications, successfully secured the contract, underscoring the value placed on reliability and urgency in this high-stakes sector.

Procurement Information

SFRS's current contract terms for provision of services relating to business-critical mobilising systems end on 31st December 2025. Any extensions beyond this time are not available to SFRS. As a result, the SFRS as a matter of extreme urgency needs to procure and implement a New Mobilising Systemin order to ensure that the SFRS can, upon expiry of the current contractual arrangements, continue to fulfil its statutory duties under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, and the requirements stated within the Fire and Rescue Framework for Scotland 2022. Following a number of unsuccessful procurement exercises in respect of its requirements, there is now insufficient time to undertake a further competitive process within the time limits of the open, restricted or competitive procedures to have the new system implemented by the required date of December 2025. As such, the SFRS intends to proceed to award a contract under the negotiated procedure without the prior publication of a contract notice on grounds of extreme urgency in terms of Regulation 33(1)(c)of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
