## Summary

The Department for Transport is conducting the National Expert Control Room Technology Support (NECoRTS) procurement process, which aims to replace the previous ESCORT contract and provide critical technical advisory support during the transition to CHARM and the Emergency Services Network (ESN). This procurement, which falls under the IT services category, has a total value of £3,600,000, with a minimum value of £3,282,720. The contract commenced on 1st May 2020 and will run until 30th April 2024. The tender process is selective and involves calls-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 24th February 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on IT services, particularly those with experience in consultancy, software development, and support related to control room technologies. Given the nature of the contract and its scope, medium-sized enterprises, especially those capable of delivering specialised services, would find this procurement particularly well-suited to their capabilities. Competing in this space could foster business growth as the successful supplier will be engaged in a long-term contract with a major government department.
