## Summary

The Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority successfully completed an open competition procurement process for the supply of 2G CSD Sim cards, essential for their backup emergency mobilising system. This procurement aimed to replace faulty SIMs to ensure continued reliable mobilisation of crews to incidents across regions in Wales, such as Carmarthen, Powys, and Pembrokeshire. The process, which moved through stages from planning in April 2026 to award in June 2026, involved a contract term of two years, with the option to renew at 12-month intervals. The authority initiated this tender with a comprehensive open competition below the financial threshold, engaging small and medium-sized enterprises, which underlines their commitment to supporting local businesses under Welsh devolved regulations.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications services and supplies, particularly those able to provide reliable Circuit Switched Data over the 2G mobile network. With a contract value shaping up to £28,800 including VAT, and a potential four-year term if renewed, it presents a lucrative avenue for growth for SMEs like Enconvo UK Limited, which actively participated and secured the award. Companies with expertise in technical and quality solutions, competitive pricing, and social value contributions would have found themselves well-suited to compete in this procurement. The open competition methodology ensures a fair field for participating vendors, fostering innovation and economic expansion within the sector.

## Notice

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority are seeking quotations for the provision of 2G CSD Sim Cards. The aim of this procurement is to address recently identified issues with our backup emergency mobilising system, which relies on Circuit Switched Data (CSD) over the 2G mobile network. We have identified faults with our current CSD compatible SIM cards and now need to procure replacement SIMs that will continue to support CSD for at least the next two years. This system provides essential backup capability to ensure that crews are reliably and effectively mobilised to incidents. The Contract Term shall be for a period of two years with the option to extend by a further two years at 12-month intervals.
