## Summary

The City of London Corporation is planning a tender for a managed service related to the soft market test for the Police Emergency Services Network (ESN) and existing Airwave radio assets. This procurement falls under the telecommunications equipment and supplies category and is based in London, United Kingdom. As of now, the process is at the planning stage, with a future notice expected on 1st January 2018, and the contract period set to commence on 1st October 2018, lasting until 30th September 2022. Interested parties are invited to participate by completing a questionnaire on the capitalesourcing portal.

This opportunity is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their services in the telecommunications sector. By engaging in this tender, businesses can position themselves within a critical transition to modern communication services for emergency responders, enhancing their profiles in the public procurement market and potentially leading to future contracts in this essential industry.

## Notice

The City of London Police currently maintains its Airwave radio assets within Force with the responsibility being shared among various departments. As the Force will be transitioning to the Emergency Services Network in 2019/20 consideration is being given to review the option of a managed service in relation to both existing Airwave and future ESN assets. This market engagement has been designed to seek input from the market to help inform how City of London Police will deliver these services going forward and would ask interested providers to respond by completing the questionnaire. Suppliers can respond via the capitalesourcing portal. www.capitalesourcing.com
