What the buyer is requesting
Details
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) invites submissions in relation to TMR’s intention to procure a production-ready implementation of the Inter-CAD Electronic Messaging System (ICEMS) protocol, comprising a back-end message broker, a stand-alone operator interface and associated implementation, transition and support services.

Suppliers should be aware that TMR will use this Expression of Interest to establish a short list of Suppliers to be invited to the next stage of the procurement, which is expected to be a restricted Request for Quote (RFQ) or Invitation to Offer (ITO). Therefore, a potential Supplier that does not respond to this Expression of Interest may be excluded from any further involvement with the procurement process which may be generated from the ongoing activities relating to this initiative.
Background information / Compatibility requirements
Details
TMR’s Transport Coordination Centre (TCC) coordinates the response of TMR transport operations centres to incidents and events on the Queensland transport network in conjunction with emergency services partners including the Queensland Police Service (QPS), the Queensland Fire Department (QFD) and the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS).

Today these interactions rely on voice and manual processes. TCC requires a functional ICEMS implementation so that its operators can electronically send, receive and respond to messages such as Incident Attendance Requests (IARs) with partner agencies, for example where QPS requests TMR assistance at an incident.

TMR requires a tactical, stand-alone, production-ready ICEMS solution that delivers capability now, based on known requirements, without locking TMR into a long-term platform or integration path. The tactical solution may later be enhanced, integrated or replaced as the future-state architecture matures.
