Description

The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) are leading on this activity via the NFCC Procurement hub on behalf of the English Fire Sector.

Following recommendations from the Grenfell Inquiry, the Fire Sector are seeking a supplier to provide connections to a Multi Agency Incident Transfer (MAIT) hub, with a messaging solution to allow the sharing of critical incident information between blue light control rooms.

The resultant contract shall provide for both installations of the connections to the MAIT solution for all 33 English Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) Control Rooms. This shall for both web enabled and fully integrated with Command and Control Dispatch systems within the sector.

Please note, this opportunity is not for the supporting hardware, but for the full MAIT end to end solution to be provided by a single supplier.

Potential suppliers shall be expected to have knowledge and experience of the MAIT protocols and have either developed or be developing potential MAIT solutions for the emergency services. Please see: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/open-standards-for-government/multi-agency-incident-transfer for further information on this.

The commercial model is expected to be a single supplier framework for all FRS's to call off upon.
