Operational Crewing Management System

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) is seeking to procure an Operational Crewing Management (OCM) solution to effectively manage and optimise availability of all fire services and crewing for Leicestershire fire stations. For now, LFRS is seeking to conduct market engagement prior to going out to tender to identity the optimum method of delivering the services and achieving key strategic objectives. It is vital that LFRS works with a viable and credible supplier who has the pedigree, track record, and professional discretion to deliver the required solution and services and will enable LFRS to meet its current and future goals and business needs. The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is for LFRS to view Operational Crewing Management systems currently available and ask for interest from suppliers to host virtual demonstrations of how their existing solutions will meet our present and future requirements. LFRS will use the demonstrations to gather information and produce a specification of requirements, which will be used for any future tender exercise that may take place. LFRS is considering the use of the competitive procedure with negotiation for any resulting procurement exercise. However, this notice does not guarantee that any future tender will take place.
