## 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 was divided into 3 Lots with associated Related Projects. This Contract Award Notice is with regard to the provision of a Direct Network Service Provider, one of the Related Projects, to provide PSN infrastructure to link 3ES Control Rooms to the central ESN system. The procurement was run under CCS Framework ref: RM1045-052. This award notice is for information purposes only.
