## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Fire Authority involved the award of a contract for a 'Retained Availability Management System and OnCall Payment.' This falls under the 'services' industry category, focusing on industry-specific software packages and IT services. The process was a direct award given the pre-established working relationship with Gartan Technologies, an SME based in Ireland. The procurement stage has reached the 'Award' phase, with the contract details confirmed on 25th November 2025. The contract period extends from 1st January 2026 to 31st May 2029, with a gross value of £346,461.60.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in software development and cloud solutions, especially those dealing with public authority services. SMEs that can integrate interdependent systems, such as mobilising and payroll systems for fire and rescue services, would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. The transition to a cloud-based solution invites IT service providers capable of offering seamless system migrations as well.

## Notice

The new contract will include Availability, Roster & Payroll modules. During the life of the contract it will be migrated to Cloud Hosting.

### Procurement Information

Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement CFRS has been working with Gartan Technologies Limited for a number of years for the provision of Rostering and Availability and these modules are fully embedded into the other Authority interdependent systems for example Mobilising System. CFRS now intends to include as an additional module a payroll system designed specifically for fire and rescue services as this will directly link to the Availability module and pull all relevant information. At this point a new contract will commence for 44 months and will move the current hosted system to a Cloud based solution.
