The brief

This Notice is in relation to a Request for Information (RFI) on behalf of the Emergency Services Mobile Communication Programme (ESMCP) within the Home Office.

The Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) was established in 2011 to determine a replacement for its Airwave (Tetra based) solution.

ESMCP aims to provide an integrated critical voice and broadband data communications service for the three Emergency Services (3ES) and other User Organisations (UOs) in Great Britain that meet the public safety requirements for coverage, functionality, availability and security.

This is known as the Emergency Services Network (ESN).

The Control Rooms team is responsible for working with 3ES to ensure they can safely transition their control rooms from the Airwave to ESN network.

Through ongoing user engagement and market analysis the team has identified the need for a new ESN Bulk Recording Solution (BRS).

ESMCP is now conducting a market review to assist in determining how it may deliver a BRS solution that will support 3ES and UOs Control Room operations following their migration to ESN.

It will assess the market capability and appetite to deliver the BRS including options for the scope of this solution and its components.

This Early Engagement notice is in relation to an early market engagement RFI process only and is not a call for competition.

This does not oblige the Authority to undertake a procurement.

Potential suppliers with an interest in the Programme and who provide services as outlined within section VI.3) Additional information below are invited to express an interest in participating in this RFI by e-mailing ESMCPSupplier@homeoffice.gov.uk .

A copy of the RFI will be provided subject to the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement by the potential supplier.
