## Summary

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is conducting a tender for a project titled "Maintaining Firefighter Mobilising Resilience," aimed at procuring research and development services to enhance mobilisation systems for firefighters across Scotland. The procurement method is an open procedure and is currently at the award stage, with a total contract value of £100,000 (including VAT), and a significant contract successfully awarded to R3-IoT amounting to £30,000 on 15 February 2021. This contract aims to support the firefighting capabilities in emergency response, particularly focusing on creating GD92 compliant mobilising bearers that function independently of existing networks.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses in the research and development sector as well as those specialising in emergency services technology. Companies that focus on innovative communication systems and operational resilience would particularly benefit from this project. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in developing advanced technology tailored to public safety applications are encouraged to explore similar future tenders provided by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, as they continue to seek solutions to strengthen emergency response mechanisms across Scotland.
