Description

The Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) is a cross-government, multi-agency 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 23.1.2015). This Contract Award Notice is with regard to Lot 2 only (Lots 1 and 3 are the subject of separate Award Notices). Lot 2 is for a supplier of User Services (US) to provide a managed service for the 3ES and other users. This will entail the provision of end to end systems integration (including interfaces and testing services) for the ESN including, but not limited to providing public safety communications services (including developing and operating the public safety applications), providing the necessary telecommunications infrastructure; user device management, customer support, and service management.
