## Summary

The Home Office has completed a procurement process titled "Control Rooms - SAAB Ab" within the IT software development services industry. This contract, awarded for £3.2 million to SAAB AB, aims to upgrade control room systems for the Emergency Services Network (ESN), providing integrated communications for emergency services across Great Britain. Key dates include the tender period ending on 30th September 2019 and the contract period commencing on 20th December 2019, ending on 2nd October 2021. The procurement method utilised was a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, indicative of the specialised nature of the services required.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses focused on software development services, especially those with expertise in emergency communication systems and compatible technologies. Companies that qualify as SMEs may find this contract aligns with their capabilities, given the requirement for innovative and adaptable solutions to meet the evolving needs of emergency services. Engaging in this tender could open doors for collaborations within the public sector and potentially lead to further projects as the ESN develops.

## Notice

The Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) is a cross-government, multiagency Programme sponsored by The Secretary of State for the Home Department to deliver the Emergency Services Network (ESN). The ESN will deliver integrated critical voice and broadband data services to all three emergency services (3ES) and other users throughout GB (England, Wales and Scotland). These services require a mobile communications network capable of providing the full coverage, resilience, security and public safety functionality required by the 3ES. The ESN will replace those services delivered under current service contract(s). A number of these service contracts operate across the 3ES and other users. The new service contracts were awarded during 2015 to facilitate commencement of service delivery from late 2016 as existing service contracts begin to expire. The procurement is divided into 3 Lots with associated Related Projects. This Contract Award Notice is with regard to a Contract awarded to one of the incumbent Suppliers of Control Room systems (as deployed to the UK 3ES customers) to develop a compatible ICCS product upgrade that enables the Supplier's control room ICCS product(s) to interface to ESN. The development is to commence with integration for the minimum subset of Kodiak 9.0 and 9.1 features as set out in the Technical Requirements, with a subsequent CCN to migrate to Kodiak 10 and then potentially other future releases as necessary to support the delivery of ESN. The Contract includes the provision of software development services, a proof of concept and testing at a Live End User site, as well as the potential for the provision of a First Office Application (FOA) and ongoing support and maintenance in support of the Supplier's ESN capability. THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY.
