## Summary

The procurement process pertains to National Highways' initiative to transition from the Airwave radio service to the Emergency Services Network (ESN) through the tender titled "Emergency Services Network (ESN) Locker Infrastructure." This project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on lockers, and is located in various regions across England. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the contract period commencing on 6th May 2022 and ending on 5th May 2027, with a total contract value of £5,816,688.29. The tender was published following the award date on 17th May 2022, marking its completion.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in infrastructure services, particularly those that can provide locker solutions for emergency service communication systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in the bidding process, given that the procurement is designed to support their involvement. Companies that manufacture or supply secure storage solutions and have experience in servicing public sector clients would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, ultimately aiding in the expansion of their business in the public procurement domain.

## Notice

National Highways currently utilises the Airwave radio service to provision critical communications between Traffic Officers, Service Providers (SPs), and the emergency services. However, the Airwave service is due to be decommissioned by the Home Office and replaced with the Emergency Services Network (ESN), to which all emergency services will transition. In order to maintain its access to critical communications and interoperability with the emergency services, National Highways must therefore also transition to ESN. In preparation, National Highways has decided to undertake a procurement exercise for a new locker infrastructure.The 750+ Airwave radios, currently used by National Highways Service Providers are, when not in use, hosted and secured in an existing Traka Locker infrastructure comprising circa 100 lockers. These lockers, which are located at SP service depots across England are not capable of hosting the ESN handsets and an alternative locker infrastructure will therefore need to be provided. Contract is a 5 year contract but there is an option to extend for a further 4 years in 2 year increments (5+2+2). The value of the award is for the initial 5 year period.
