## Summary

Hertfordshire County Council has awarded a contract for the Provision of a Mobilising System Support and Maintenance Agreement, focusing on IT services such as consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This tender is classified under the industry category "Services" and is based in the East of England (Region UKH23). The procurement process has reached the Award stage, with the contract having been signed on 25th September 2024. This direct award was made through a limited procurement method without prior competition due to technical reasons. The contract is set to start on 1st April 2025 and will run until 30th September 2025, with an option to extend for an additional six months, aligning with the timelines of the consortium fire and rescue services' new systems.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in system support and maintenance. The contract's focus on maintaining the Vision 4 mobilising system until the consortium's new systems are implemented ensures continued technical service delivery, making this an attractive opportunity for companies capable of delivering such specialised services. Large-scale IT firms and those familiar with public sector contracts will find this project particularly beneficial. The involvement of NEC Software Solutions UK Limited, a large and well-established supplier, highlights the potential for high-value service engagements and long-term business relationships with regional authorities like Hertfordshire County Council.

## Notice

This is an Award Notice for the Provision of a Mobilising System Support and Maintenance Agreement. This is a direct award because competition is absent for technical reasons.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This is an Award Notice. Hertfordshire County Council has awarded a contract for the Provision of a Mobilising System Support and Maintenance Agreement. In order to maintain the combined control room for the East Coast & Hertfordshire Control Room Consortium until the dissolution, there is a requirement to extend the Vision 4 mobilising system contract with the current supplier in order to align with each of the four consortium fire and rescue services' timelines to implement their replacement systems.

### Procurement Information

Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) is relying on Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 in making this award without prior publication. Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) permits such an award where competition is absent for technical reasons. In order to maintain the combined control room for the East Coast & Hertfordshire Control Room Consortium until the dissolution, there is a requirement to extend the Vision 4 mobilising system contract with the current supplier in order to align with each of the four consortium fire and rescue services' timelines to implement their replacement systems. The current solution needs to continue with all 4 consortium fire and rescue services and not individually. Each of the 4 services have completed separate successful procurements of new mobilising contracts which will all go live at various stages of 2025. The Council has therefore awarded a contract to NEC to ensure on-going service delivery. The contract will be for 6 months with the option to extend for a further 6 months to allow services to take a shorter extension to align with their timelines and reduce unnecessary cost. The contract is due to start on 01/04/25 until 30/09/25 with the option to extend for a further 6 months until 31/03/26.
