Description
This Request for Prequalification seeks to establish a list of suppliers capable of supporting the Calgary Municipal Radio Network, a mission-critical public safety radio environment. The scope includes potential future maintenance and operational support, lifecycle sustainment, RF and network support, cybersecurity, incident response, documentation, and related technical services for the existing infrastructure. The prequalification assesses respondents’ experience, technical capability, security posture, OEM and tooling access, operational support model, asset management, and change control maturity.
