## Summary

The Department of Health & Social Care is planning a procurement process for Network and Security Management services, managed by the Ambulance Radio Programme. This initiative, titled "DHSC: ARP: Core Network and Security Management (2027-2030)", falls under the industry category of Networks (CPV code: 32400000) and aims to support nationally resilient infrastructure across the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a planned contract period from 24th May 2027 to 23rd May 2030, and potential extensions up to 2032. The procurement method is selective, implying an award under a framework, with a total contract value estimated at £14,988,000. The central government's Department of Health & Social Care, located in London, acts as the buyer, and the anticipated process will open avenues for selective competitive bidding.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the infrastructure and security management domains, particularly those classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to expand their market presence by providing goods and services critical to national resilience. Given the selective procurement methods, companies already engaged in frameworks or those able to quickly align with the framework requirements may find this project particularly well-suited. The strategic importance of this contract in supporting the nation’s infrastructure resilience further enhances its attractiveness for businesses aiming for long-term growth and collaboration with public health authorities. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the Ambulance Radio Programme for more information.
