SITUATION
The island nation of Mauritius' Police Force (MPF) had been struggling with old, incompatible radio systems for decades. The U.S. Trade and Development Agency provided Mauritius with a grant
to aid in the development of requirements for a new emergency communications system, and to prepare tender documents for the procurement of this new system. d/ap was selected to conduct the project, with RCC
Consultants working as a subcontractor.
APPROACH
d/ap conducted a thorough analysis of existing radio systems and supporting business processes,procedures, and organizational capabilities, including all major MPF units, such as the Fire
Brigade,Emergency Medical Services and the Coast Guard. d/ap also traveled throughout Mauritius to understand the terrain and its impact on communications, as well as existing communications towers and equipment,and
other factors likely to affect the new system's design and operation.
RESULTS
d/ap delivered a vendor-ready tender (RFP) containing all requirements for a comprehensive communications system, as well as a comprehensive proposal evaluation tool to assess both technical
specifications and cost, ensuring MPF gets the best value for their money when selecting a vendor for equipment and service implementation.
