## Summary

The West Midlands Fire Service has completed a procurement process for support with front-end software development, specifically aimed at creating a responsive web application that interacts with an existing REST API. This contract, valued at £100,000, falls under the development software package category and was awarded to the supplier Cloudthing. The contract period commenced on 3rd August 2017 and is set to conclude on 1st November 2017. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, initiated as a tender, with a tender period that ended on 4th July 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs with expertise in software development, particularly in creating dynamic, user-focused applications. Businesses specialising in front-end technologies and responsive design would be particularly suited to competing for similar opportunities. Engaging in such contracts can help enhance their visibility and credibility within the public sector, fostering long-term relationships with governmental organisations like the West Midlands Fire Service.

## Notice

Today's modern Fire Service has an increasing need to collect timely, relevant and often critical data from its front-line teams... yet the time operational personnel spend with a PC is time spent away from the communities they serve. The Authority required talented and experienced front-end developers to develop a robust web-app which will allow our employees to interact with an existing REST API. This fully-responsive SPA will offer Auth0-based authentication, dynamic form-rendering, search page and to-do list.
