## 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 began to be awarded during 2015 and service delivery commenced during 2016 and 2017. This Contract Award Notice is in relation to a contract that has been awarded for the provision of Coverage Assurance Goods and Services in support of the ESN. The procurement was advertised under OJ 2018/S 047-103350. The Contract will enable the autonomous, unattended testing of Coverage via data collected through a Coverage App installed onto Devices and providing centrally accessible information to the Programme and User organisations in relation to the performance of the ESN network, as well as associated goods and services. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY.
