ESMCP Control Rooms - Systel Development Phase 4 2022/23

Descriptions

This procurement seeks to establish a contract between the supplier as a vendor of integrated communications control systems (ICCS) software to the three emergency services (3ES) and the Home Office, specifically the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme ('ESMCP' or the 'Programme'), for the provision of software development and supporting services. In summary, the service requirements are concerned with the development of a compatible ICCS product upgrade that enables the supplier's control room ICCS product(s) (as deployed to the supplier's UK 3ES customers) to interface to ESN, for the minimum subset of Kodiak 12 (K12) features as set out in the contract schedules. Kodiak is the mission critical push to talk application (provided by Motorola Solutions UK Limited) used on ESN to connect the 3ES to the EE mobile network (the ESN's mobile network operator). It is critical that the 3ES control rooms are compatible with ESN. If they are not, ESN will not work, and this could endanger life. This Notice is for the provision of services in connection with the development of Systel's IRIS Solution against Kodiak 12 (K12). It should be noted that the contracting authority may require Systel to provide further development work in the future, as may be relevant for newer versions of the release.
