## Summary

The Home Office, headquartered at 2 Marsham Street, London, has completed the procurement process for upgrading the Control Room Systems as part of the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP). The contract, titled "ESMCP Control Room Systems Upgrade to ensure compatibility to the Emergency Services Network - Frequentis," falls under the software development services category. This initiative, aimed at ensuring compatibility with the Emergency Services Network, employs a direct award procurement method and is valued at £13,376,544 gross. The award was finalised on 23rd July 2026, with the contract period set to commence on 1st September 2026 and extend until 29th March 2030. An additional 12-month extension is possible if the broader programme faces delays.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in Integrated Communications Control Systems (ICCS) and related software. Organizations with strong capabilities in software development, particularly for emergency services infrastructure, would find this contract highly compatible with their offerings. Given the direct award process due to technical and intellectual property considerations, businesses currently owning relevant technologies might benefit substantially from similar future tenders by maintaining proprietary advancements. This contract underscores the critical role of existing suppliers who can seamlessly integrate with established systems, thereby enriching opportunities for firms with advanced technical solutions and strong government collaboration credentials.

The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where-- (a)a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and (b)the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. Additional information The ownership of the control room systems software relationship is between the User Organisation and the Control Room System Supplier.
