## Summary

This procurement process, conducted by ARP in London, United Kingdom, involves the contract titled "Air to Ground TETRA GEN3 Support" in the services industry category. The procurement follows a concluded procedure using a negotiated approach without prior publication, aiming to support existing TETRA GEN3 air-to-ground radio shipsets. The contract, valued at £660,000, commenced on 2nd July 2025 and will continue until 1st July 2026. The process transitioned to the award stage on 3rd July 2025, with Chelton Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Marlow, identified as the chosen provider.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in telecommunications services, specifically those capable of providing specialised support for radio and communication equipment. Given the complex nature of the project and the need for secure storage, technical support, and expertise in handling spares and repairs, larger enterprises with a proven track record in these areas will find this contract particularly advantageous for growth and development within the public sector infrastructure. This bridging contract further positions potential suppliers for future engagements as the existing services transition to alternative solutions under the Emergency Services Network.
