This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to inform requirements definition, procurement approach, business case development, and market understanding. It is not a formal tender and does not constitute a commitment by CFRS or Cornwall Council to commence any procurement process or to award any contract. Suppliers are invited to provide information on product capability, implementation approach, operating model, support arrangements, indicative timescales, and indicative costs. Background and Strategic Context CFRS has a statutory duty to provide effective arrangements for receiving calls for assistance and mobilising resources to fires, road traffic collisions, rescues, flooding, and other emergencies. The current Command and Control environment is increasingly constrained, less resilient, and not technically fit for future needs. The Service is therefore preparing to procure and implement a replacement Fire Control Command and Control solution. The replacement programme supports delivery of the Community Risk Management Plan, Fire Control Functional Delivery Plan, Service Delivery Strategy, and wider assurance, performance, and resilience requirements. The principal drivers for change include legacy and end-of-life technology, performance and resilience concerns, the need for improved usability and reporting, the need for stronger cyber resilience, and the requirement to align with national standards and modern interoperability expectations. Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service operate from 31 stations with a high proportion (2/3) being solely Retained crewed. Cornwall Fire and Rescues’ control room also manages this function for the Isles of Scilly Fire and Rescue Service (5 remote island stations) and any solution will include provision of the Command and Control requirements for the Isles of Scilly as well. Cornwall is surrounded by water with only one other adjoining Fire and Rescue boundary with the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service. Service Headquarters is located at Tolvaddon, Cornwall. The current system is installed in a server room on site but the server benefits from the wider support, resource and technical capacity of Cornwall Council as its umbrella organisation. Cornwall’s unique location and geography can present challenges for on site support so there is an expectation that the new solution will have a cloud element to it. Suppliers should therefore explain how their proposed solution aligns with Cornwall Council’s wider cloud direction, including how the design reduces dependency on local infrastructure, supports remote maintenance and management, and maintains operational resilience for a mission-critical control environment.
