    Brief

    The Home Office is seeking a supplier to provide ongoing support and maintenance services for Handsfree R5 Fixed Vehicle Devices (FVDs) that have been procured by ESMCP for the Emergency Services Network. This contract covers technical support, software updates, repairs, hardware upgrades, and related services to ensure the devices remain operational, secure, and compatible with current and evolving network requirements. The estimated contract value is approximately £300,000 (ex VAT). The services require full technical compatibility with the existing device fleet and associated software systems. Due to the proprietary nature of the original design and development, supplier continuity is critical to avoid technical incompatibility, service disruption, warranty complications, and operational risks to emergency responders who depend on these communication systems.
