Description

Dyfed Powys Police has a history of operating a critical voice and data environment to meet the demands of front-line services to its citizens via the 999, 101 and various other services. DPP has one of the highest average speed times of answering calls for 999 across the UK. Dyfed Powys Police are now seeking to procure an Integrated Communication Control System (ICCS) and Contact Management Solution (including telephony platform) for the Force Control Room based at Headquarters, Carmarthen. Adopting a principle of ‘cloud first’ we are looking for a cloud based, high availability, easy to maintain and effective next generation ICCS/Contact Management Solution that supports both multichannel voice and digital communications and also interfaces with the current Airwave radio network. The system must also be available within our secondary site, based at our premises in Ammanford which acts as a backup site but this site can also be used as a staff training facility, business continuity events and so on.
