Description

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC, “The Council”) is a UK local authority delivering statutory and discretionary services to residents, businesses and partner organisations. The Council is working with Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) on a requirement for a new Mobile Data Terminal solution (MDT) - the operational software platform used by crews in fire appliances (software installed on rugged tablets or laptops) to receive, view, update, and exchange critical incident and risk information in real time while mobilising to, attending, and returning from, incidents. We are keen to collaborate with forward thinking suppliers who can help LFR shape this important requirement. Your expertise, insight, and creativity will play a vital role in informing a solution that is not only robust, scalable, and secure, but one that strengthens operational performance and supports the thousands of frontline professionals delivering essential services to the residents of Lincolnshire. To support this aim, this pre-market engagement has been prepared to both invite suppliers to attend an online event hosted by LFR, and to provide written feedback via a questionnaire. We welcome responses through either or both elements of the engagement. The objective of this pre-market engagement is to: - Bring awareness to the market of an upcoming opportunity. - Assist in refining requirements and ensure clarity of specification. - Assess availability of solutions and interest in the market. - Gain awareness of innovations in the market. - Understand any constraints. - Ensure suitability of procurement process and contractual terms.
