TVFCS Command & Control

Thames Valley Fire Control Service (TVFCS) is initiating a Competitive Flexible Procedure procurement for the replacement of its Command & Control (C&C) system. TVFCS is a tri-service collaboration between Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service, Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service, and Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue Service. Oxfordshire County Council are undertaking this procurement on behalf of the other Fires Services. Since becoming operational in 2015, TVFCS has provided a critical shared emergency control room service, handling 999 calls and mobilising resources across the Thames Valley region, serving a population of approximately 2.5 million residents. The current C&C system (NEC Vision Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and DS3000 Integrated Communication Control System (ICCS)) is approaching end-of-life, with key infrastructure components due to become unsupported by 2029. The replacement project seeks to ensure continuity of statutory emergency response services, enhance operational resilience, and support future innovation through a modern, modular solution. Contract start date is targeted to be 19th October 2026 followed by a period of transition with a Service Commencement Date of no-later than 1/4/28 Pricing submitted must be for a 10year period commencing from a targeted contract start date of 19/10/26 and include the initial period of 7years + 3 optional extensions. All Stage 2 questions shall be evaluated using a Price per Quality Point PQP methodology which is further described in the ITT. For avoidance of doubt, Submitted Price means the total whole‑life price for the full Contract Term, including any optional extensions, implementation, licences/subscriptions, support, hosting and dual running as specified in the pricing template. PQP shall be calculated to two decimal places using standard rounding. In the event of a tie, ranking will be determined by: (1) higher Total Quality Score; then (2) higher Core Quality score; then (3) lower Submitted Price. The Price per Quality Point (PQP) is calculated as: Submitted Price ÷ Total Quality Score (TQS) = PQP
