## Summary

The procurement process conducted by The Secretary of State for the Home Department has resulted in a contract award for the Control Rooms Mobilisation under the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme. Softcat PLC, with Zetron Limited as a key sub-contractor, was awarded the contract through a direct award procedure. The procurement falls within the goods category, specifically concerning the provision of Integrated Communications Control Systems (ICCS) and related software.

The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, following the guidelines of the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions Framework, and the process has been completed and is active.
