    Brief

    This procurement seeks commercially available mobile communication devices that meet Emergency Services Network (ESN) technical, security, and public safety requirements and can achieve ESN certification. Successful suppliers will each receive individual contracts for their selected devices. The Authority intends to maximize choice and operational resilience by awarding multiple contracts across four lots (maximum 5 contracts for Lot 1, 2 for Lot 2, 2 for Lot 3, and 4 for Lot 4). Key requirements include: Lots 1 and 4 must include at least one dual-mode device (ESN plus Tetra DMO) in addition to ESN-only devices; the Authority will award a fifth contract in these lots if the top four bids do not include a dual-mode option; where multiple bids use the same sub-contractor, only the highest-scoring bid will be awarded a contract; suppliers may submit multiple bids but the Authority may limit awards to their two highest-scoring bids; and if a supplier wins multiple contracts, separate contracts must be signed for each device. This procurement covers device development, testing, and ESN certification only. Routine supply of certified devices and services will be delivered through GCA's NS4 framework (RM6377), though the Authority may procure some developed devices for testing and trials.
