UIN HL7340, tabled on 20 April 2023

To ask His Majesty's Government how many bids were received for the UK Emergency Alert System.

Answered on

5 May 2023

The original bidding process for suppliers to deliver the UK Emergency Alert system was handled by the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) during 2020 and 2021. Therefore the UK Government was not privy to the number of bids each of the MNOs received.

For the contract publicly listed on Contract Finder[1] signed by Government Digital Service, two bids were received and Fujitsu was the winning bidder.
