## Summary

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service recently awarded a contract for the provision of CCMS and ICCS on an interim basis. This contract, with a value of £1,200,000, was signed on April 26, 2023. The buying organisation, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, located in Cambuslang, UK, initiated the tender process at the award stage. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract is currently active and falls under the industry category of public order and safety.

This contracting opportunity presents a chance for businesses, particularly those offering services related to CAD, telephony, and radio systems for emergency services, to engage with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. Businesses with experience in providing integrated communications control systems and maintenance services could be well-suited for this tender opportunity. The contract aims to ensure continuity of service provision at three Operations Control locations in Edinburgh, Dundee, and Johnstone until a new mobilising system can be fully procured and implemented. The detailed tender description can be found on the award notice document linked here.

## Notice

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) currently operates 3 Operations Control (OC) located in Dundee, Edinburgh and Johnstone. Each OC operates with a mobilising system (CAD - Computer Aided Dispatch), telephony and radio systems (ICCS - Integrated Communications Control System), interconnected to various networks and ultimately to Station End Kit which notifies crews when they are required to attend incidents. These networks also allow telephony to connect to the Operations Control Room and Airwave Radio to facilitate incident ground communication. Following the award of contract to new contractor it was intended to switch off legacy CCMS and ICCS provision when the new contract provision went live. The new contract was recently terminated before the solution could be implemented. As a result, there is a need for the SFRS to maintain current service provision for all three OC's with existing legacy service providers to ensure the continuation of service provision in the interim period until a new mobilising system can be procured and fully implemented

### Procurement Information

The SFRS was established by the Police and Fire Reform Act (Scotland) 2012 (the Act) and replaced the previous eight legacy services, each of whom operated their own independent Operations Controls (OC's). The new national SFRS rationalised the 8 legacy Fire & Rescue Service Operations Controls (OC's) into 3 Service Delivery Area (SDA) OCs resulting in each OC operating a different CCMS platforms based upon their original legacy mobilising systems, consisting of either integrated, or separate but interdependent technologies enabling them to perform all of their functions. Each OC operated with a mobilising system (CAD - Computer Aided Dispatch), telephony and radio systems (ICCS - Integrated Communications Control System), interconnected to various networks and ultimately to Station End Kit which notifies crews when they are required to attend incidents. These networks also allow telephony to connect to the Operations Control Room and Airwave Radio to facilitate incident ground communication. In 2018 the SFRS awarded a contract to replace existing legacy systems and had been working with the contractor towards the implementation of the new solution, whilst still continuing with legacy service provision in order to ensure there was no impact on operational requirements. In early 2023 before the new system went live, the SFRS terminated the contract. The Service is now about to commence a new procurement process for a New Mobilising System. In the interim period until the procurement process can be completed and the New Mobilising System is fully operational, it will be necessary to continue with the existing legacy service providers at the three locations of Edinburgh, Dundee and Johnstone. Each location operates a bespoke solution, which the original providers of the systems are required to service and maintain due to the technical nature of the systems at each OC. SSS Public Safety Limited (SSS formally Capita) are one of the legacy suppliers of CCMS / ICCS to the SFRS OC's in a number of locations. It is therefore the intention of SFRS to enter into a further contract with SSS for the continuation of the necessary support and maintenance for relevant sites due to SSS having supplied and installed the existing bespoke legacy systems and also being the provider of the support and maintenance. It is necessary for the same supplier to continue with this service provision to ensure continuity in the interim.
