## Summary

The Home Office procured control room systems and associated networking and intranet software services for its Control Rooms Mobilisation requirement. The work is categorised as services and covers delivery across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and other locations worldwide. The requirement sits within the Home Office’s emergency and blue-light operational environment, so it is relevant to businesses that design, supply, integrate or support control room technology and related networked software. The named requirement is ESMCP Control Room Systems – SAAB, indicating a focus on systems supporting emergency-service control room operations rather than general-purpose IT.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. SAAB AB was selected on 16 July 2026 under a direct award and Get Quote process through the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions Framework, lot 5, Blue Light Services. The award value is £5,896,568. The contract runs from 16 July 2026 to 15 January 2030. The response deadline was 30 June 2026 at 5pm. The procurement used a selective method as a call-off from a framework, following the framework Buyers Guidance Document. The award is active, and the Home Office confirmed that SAAB AB signed the call-off contract on 16 July 2026. The evaluation route was therefore framework-based rather than an open competition.

For competitors, this award demonstrates substantial Home Office demand for integrated control room systems and networked or intranet software serving blue-light operations. Credible suppliers for a future requirement would need strong capability in control room technology, systems integration, secure networking, software deployment and operational support across geographically dispersed sites. Experience of emergency-service or other mission-critical environments would be commercially relevant, particularly where resilience, availability, interoperability and controlled implementation are important. Suppliers should also understand how to work through public-sector technology frameworks and their specialist lots, including call-off and Get Quote processes. The selected supplier is a large organisation, while the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a procurement scale and delivery model suited to substantial, established technology providers.
