This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone set for the engagement end date on 23rd August 2021. The procurement falls under the category of telecommunications services, specifically related to radio, communication, and telecommunication equipment, with potential service needs including order fulfilment and equipment configuration. Interested parties can express their interest by contacting the ESMCP Supplier via email provided in the notice. This RFI presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in telecommunications and IT services, particularly those involved in radio services or system support services. Companies that can offer comprehensive device services, including the provision and management of telecommunications devices for emergency services, will be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this process allows businesses to demonstrate their capabilities and potentially secure contracts that support the critical communications infrastructure for emergency services across Great Britain. ## Notice This Notice is relation to a Request for Information (RFI) on behalf of the Emergency Services Mobile Communication Programme (ESMCP) within the Home Office. The Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) was established in 2011 to determine a replacement for Airwave. ESMCP aims to provide an integrated critical voice and broadband data communications service for the three Emergency Services (3ES) and other User Organisations (UO) in Great Britain that meets the public safety requirements for coverage, functionality, availability and security. ESMCP is conducting a market review to assist in determining the market capability in relation to Device Services that User Organisations may purchase to support their ESN device operations. The potential Device Services are to be utilised by users of ESN Handheld, Vehicle, D2D and other devices. It is envisaged that the Device Services Supplier provides services for user organisations to purchase that includes order fulfilment and configuration and additional services complementary to order fulfilment and configuration and returns management. Further information is provided in the Request for Information (RFI). This Early Engagement notice is in relation to an early market engagement RFI process only and is not a call for competition. Potential suppliers with an interest in the Programme and who provide services as outlined above are invited to express an interest in participating in this RFI by e-mailing ESMCPSupplier@homeoffice.gov.uk . A copy of the RFI will be provided subject to the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement by the potential supplier. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/935e4185-3263-49a3-897b-e6de601c812a | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Aug 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ESN ESOURCING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9EX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 32000000 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 64200000 - Telecommunications services - 64220000 - Telecommunication services except telephone and data transmission services - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72250000 - System and support services - 72263000 - Software implementation services - 92210000 - Radio services ## Release History - 1 Jul 2021 at 13:10 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/935e4185-3263-49a3-897b-e6de601c812a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/935e4185-3263-49a3-897b-e6de601c812a 1st July 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
