## Summary

The Emergency Services Mobile Communication Programme (ESMCP), operating under the Home Office, is currently in the planning stage of a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Market capability in relation to ESN Device Services," aimed at assessing market capabilities for device services used by the Emergency Services Network (ESN). This initiative, related to telecommunication services, is particularly relevant in Great Britain, focusing on providing integrated communication services. Interested potential suppliers are invited to express their interest by 1st October 2021 by contacting ESMCPSupplier@homeoffice.gov.uk, following the necessary signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

This procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses involved in telecommunication services, especially those offering device services such as order fulfilment, configuration, and returns management for ESN handheld and vehicular devices. Companies capable of supporting the device operations for the emergency services should consider participating, as successfully engaging with this market could lead to significant growth in contracts with public sector clients. The focus on enhancing communication capabilities within emergency services creates substantial potential for service providers to expand their offerings and capabilities.
