Located at their headquarters in Cambuslang, the project falls under the public order and safety category. This procurement, crucial for business-critical mobilising systems, was necessitated by the upcoming expiration of the current contract on 31st December 2025. The contract, valued at £31,684,106, was signed on 5th September 2024. Due to extreme urgency, the award bypassed the usual competitive procedures as permitted under Regulation 33(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The entire procurement process has been completed, and the contract has been activated. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses involved in emergency services technology and public safety solutions. Large-scale companies with expertise in system mobilisation, technical training, and maintenance would find this contract especially rewarding. Given the limited procurement process and direct award, businesses capable of providing rapid and reliable solutions were at an advantage. Motorola Solutions, with its robust experience in public safety communications, successfully secured the contract, underscoring the value placed on reliability and urgency in this high-stakes sector. ## Notice New mobilisation system, with training, and ongoing support and maintenance ### Lot Information Lot 1 Provision of New Mobilising System for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service intends to award a contract for the Provision of a New Mobilising System under the terms of Regulation 33 (1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 ### Procurement Information SFRS's current contract terms for provision of services relating to business-critical mobilising systems end on 31st December 2025. Any extensions beyond this time are not available to SFRS. As a result, the SFRS as a matter of extreme urgency needs to procure and implement a New Mobilising Systemin order to ensure that the SFRS can, upon expiry of the current contractual arrangements, continue to fulfil its statutory duties under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, and the requirements stated within the Fire and Rescue Framework for Scotland 2022. Following a number of unsuccessful procurement exercises in respect of its requirements, there is now insufficient time to undertake a further competitive process within the time limits of the open, restricted or competitive procedures to have the new system implemented by the required date of December 2025. As such, the SFRS intends to proceed to award a contract under the negotiated procedure without the prior publication of a contract notice on grounds of extreme urgency in terms of Regulation 33(1)(c)of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV517348 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Sep 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £31,684,106 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE | | Locality | CAMBUSLANG | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G72 7NA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | | Local authority | South Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | Cambuslang East | | Westminster constituency | Rutherglen | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 42 - Industrial machinery - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 35710000 - Command, control, communication and computer systems - 35711000 - Command, control, communication systems - 42961000 - Command and control system - 48100000 - Industry specific software package - 48517000 - IT software package - 72222300 - Information technology services ## Release History - 1 Nov 2024 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV517348 - 6 Sep 2024 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP513770 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP513770 New Mobilising System - New mobilisation system, with training, and ongoing support and maintenance - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV517348 New Mobilising System - New mobilisation system, with training, and ongoing support and maintenance ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://firescotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000777358 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
