The brief

The Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) is a cross-government, multiagency Programme sponsored by The Secretary of State for the Home Department to deliver the Emergency Services Network (ESN).

The ESN will deliver integrated critical voice and broadband data services to all three emergency services (3ES) and other users throughout GB (England, Wales and Scotland).

These services require a mobile communications network capable of providing the full coverage, resilience, security and public safety functionality required by the 3ES.

The ESN will replace the existing Emergency Services Communication Services delivered under current service contract(s) across the 3ES and other users.

The new service contracts have been awarded during 2015, with a target of achieving a planned commencement of service delivery during 2017 as the existing service contracts begin to expire.

The procurement was divided into 4 Lots, however Lot 4 has been discontinued (see OJEU Corrigendum ref: 2015/S 016-024719 dated 23 January 2015).

This Contract Award Notice is with regard to Lot 3 only (Lots 1 and 2 are the subject of separate Award Notices).

Lot 3 is for a supplier of Mobile Services (MS) to enable the delivery of mobile voice and data network services to the 3ES and other user organisations to support ESN.

The Lot 3 (MS) supplier will be responsible for an enhanced mobile communications service with highly available full coverage in the defined Lot 3 area (including some in-building coverage); provision of highly available extended network coverage over Extended Area Services (EAS) telecommunications infrastructure, technical interfaces to Lots 2 and EAS; and the provision of optional services.

THIS NOTICE IS TO AMEND THE CONTRACT VALUE FROM £900,300,000 to £826,750,000.
