What is being bought

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) is the statutory fire and rescue service for the County of Lincolnshire and is part of Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) which is the Fire and Rescue Authority (FRA) for Lincolnshire. We are seeking contract for the provision of Mobile Data Terminal solution (MDT) - the operational software platform used by crews in fire appliances (software installed on rugged tablets or laptops) to receive, view, update, and exchange critical incident and risk information in real time while mobilising to, attending, and returning from, incidents. The contractual term is 7 years with an option to extend for further 2 years. This follows the Councils Premarket Market Engagement which can be found on the attached UK2 Notice and a summary within the procurement document through the link on this notice. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to modify the contract in accordance with Schedule 8, Paragraph 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 where a known risk arises during the contract term. The Authority has identified a known risk that future organisational, governance or service delivery changes affecting Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue may require modifications to the Mobile Data Terminal solution and associated support services which cannot be fully specified at the time of contract award (e.g. local government reforms). Such modifications may include: migration, transfer or restructuring of operational, administrative or historical data; amendments to system configuration, security roles, user structures or organisational hierarchies; changes to interfaces or integration requirements with successor systems or organisations; transition assistance, technical consultancy or implementation services required to support the continuation of service delivery following organisational change. Any modification would be limited to that reasonably necessary to address the identified risk and ensure continued service delivery. The Authority considers that a single supplier model is necessary to maintain clear accountability, ensure interoperability across the Solution and minimise operational and integration risks. As such, this requirement is not Lotted. If there is a technical issue with the Tender Portal, please use the built in Q&A support or contact the Panacea helpdesk at support@panacea-software.com or helpdesk number 02079760116.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Software package and information systems (48000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "description": "Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) is the statutory fire and rescue service for the County of Lincolnshire and is part of Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) which is the Fire and Rescue Authority (FRA) for Lincolnshire. We are seeking contract for the provision of Mobile Data Terminal solution (MDT) - the operational software platform used by crews in fire appliances (software installed on rugged tablets or laptops) to receive, view, update, and exchange critical incident and risk information in real time while mobilising to, attending, and returning from, incidents.\nThe contractual term is 7 years with an option to extend for further 2 years.\nThis follows the Councils Premarket Market Engagement which can be found on the attached UK2 Notice and a summary within the procurement document through the link on this notice.\nThe Contracting Authority reserves the right to modify the contract in accordance with Schedule 8, Paragraph 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 where a known risk arises during the contract term.\nThe Authority has identified a known risk that future organisational, governance or service delivery changes affecting Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue may require modifications to the Mobile Data Terminal solution and associated support services which cannot be fully specified at the time of contract award (e.g. local government reforms). Such modifications may include:\nmigration, transfer or restructuring of operational, administrative or historical data;\namendments to system configuration, security roles, user structures or organisational hierarchies;\nchanges to interfaces or integration requirements with successor systems or organisations;\ntransition assistance, technical consultancy or implementation services required to support the continuation of service delivery following organisational change.\nAny modification would be limited to that reasonably necessary to address the identified risk and ensure continued service delivery.\nThe Authority considers that a single supplier model is necessary to maintain clear accountability, ensure interoperability across the Solution and minimise operational and integration risks. As such, this requirement is not Lotted.\nIf there is a technical issue with the Tender Portal, please use the built in Q&A support or contact the Panacea helpdesk at support@panacea-software.com or helpdesk number 02079760116.",

The Council is working with Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) on a requirement for a new Mobile Data Terminal solution (MDT) - the operational software platform used by crews in fire appliances (software installed on rugged tablets or laptops) to receive, view, update, and exchange critical incident and risk information in real time while mobilising to, attending, and returning from, incidents.\nWe are keen to collaborate with forward thinking suppliers who can help LFR shape this important requirement. Your expertise, insight, and creativity will play a vital role in informing a solution that is not only robust, scalable, and secure, but one that strengthens operational performance and supports the thousands of frontline professionals delivering essential services to the residents of Lincolnshire.\nTo support this aim, this pre-market engagement has been prepared to both invite suppliers to attend an online event hosted by LFR, and to provide written feedback via a questionnaire. We welcome responses through either or both elements of the engagement.\nThe objective of this pre-market engagement is to:\n- Bring awareness to the market of an upcoming opportunity.\n- Assist in refining requirements and ensure clarity of specification.\n- Assess availability of solutions and interest in the market.\n- Gain awareness of innovations in the market.\n- Understand any constraints.\n- Ensure suitability of procurement process and contractual terms.",
