The ICCS service is a critical service for GMP
as it connects radio messages to our Command and Control system
(Controlworks) as well as providing location information for
dispatch. GMP recently upgraded the ICCS service which is propriety
to NEC Group. The Crown Commercial Services Vertical Application
Solutions framework RM6259 permits a direct award which will ensure
that GMP derives maximum value for its investment in the recent
ICCS refresh.
It should be noted that the previous contract for the ICCS service
was included in the Device Managed Service contract.
The Deputy Mayor approves the direct award of
a 5 year contract for provision of Support and Maintenance of the
ICCS system, to NEC Group, with the option to extend for a further
2 years. The likely value of 7 years spend would be circa
£3.8 million.
