Control Rooms - Capita

The Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) is a cross-government, multiagency 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 those services delivered under current service contract(s). A number of these service contracts operate across the 3ES and other users. The new service contracts were awarded during 2015 to facilitate commencement of service delivery from late 2016 as existing service contracts begin to expire. The procurement is divided into 3 Lots with associated Related Projects. \r \r This Contract Award Notice is with regard to a Contract awarded to one of the incumbent Suppliers of Control Room systems (as deployed to the UK 3ES customers) to develop a compatible ICCS product upgrade that enables the Supplier's control room ICCS product(s) to interface to ESN. The development is to commence with integration for the minimum subset of Kodiak 9.0 and 9.1 features as set out in the Technical Requirements, with a subsequent CCN to migrate to Kodiak 10 and then potentially other future releases as necessary to support the delivery of ESN. \r \r The Contract includes the provision of software development services, a proof of concept and testing at a Live End User site, as well as the provision of a First Office Application (FOA) and ongoing support and maintenance in support of the Supplier's ESN capability.\r \r THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY
