Overview

Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner has awarded a direct contract to Saab UK Ltd for £10 million to continue provision of the Force Communications Solution, a core 24/7 emergency call management platform integrating telephony and radio dispatch. The contract commences 8 March 2028 for an initial 5-year term with optional annual extensions, replacing the current arrangement that expires 7 March 2028; the award was justified on grounds of operational continuity, cost of migration to alternative platforms, and integration complexity with existing systems.
