    Brief

    Ofcom is seeking supplier input on modern spectrum monitoring solutions to inform its Spectrum Monitoring Strategy and Systems Review. This market engagement invites vendors to present capabilities in software-based monitoring platforms, remote operation, automated alerting, spectrum data storage and retrieval, direction-finding integration, and analytics tools. Rather than a simple equipment replacement exercise, Ofcom is exploring how current and emerging technologies can support both immediate operational needs and future evidence-led spectrum management. Suppliers should demonstrate how their solutions can enhance monitoring effectiveness, streamline operations, and support strategic decision-making in spectrum management.
