## Summary

The Home Office has awarded a contract titled "Control Rooms - Frequentis" related to the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP). This initiative aims to provide a mobile communications network for the emergency services across Great Britain, requiring integrated critical voice and broadband services. The contract, valued at £6,500,000 and awarded on 20th December 2019, is currently in the active stage and involves a software development component that includes testing at live end-user sites. The procurement method used was a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, and the contract will run until 31st December 2022.

This tender represents significant opportunities for technology firms specialising in IT software development services, particularly those with experience in creating systems compatible with emergency services infrastructure. Businesses capable of providing innovative software solutions, supporting mobile communication integration, or offering ongoing maintenance and development will find this contract aligns well with their service offerings. Engaging with the Home Office on this initiative could lead to further collaboration in enhancing the UK's emergency response capabilities.

## 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 were awarded during 2015 to facilitate commencement of service delivery from late 2016 as existing service contracts begin to expire. The procurement is divided into 3 Lots with associated Related Projects. This Contract Award Notice is with regard to a Contract awarded to one of the incumbent Suppliers of Control Room systems (as deployed to the UK 3ES customers) to develop a compatible ICCS product upgrade that enables the Supplier's control room ICCS product(s) to interface to ESN. The development is to commence with integration for the minimum subset of Kodiak 9.0, 9.1 and Kodiak 10 features as set out in the Technical Requirements, with a view to subsequently migrating to Kodiak 11 and potentially other future releases as necessary to support the delivery of ESN. The Contract includes the provision of software development services, a proof of concept and testing at a Live End User site, as well as the potential for the provision of ongoing support and maintenance in support of the Supplier's ESN capability. THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY.
