Drones Sensor Network for Solent Transport FTZ Programme - Market Consultation
Notice Description
Portsmouth City Council on behalf of Solent Transport is undertaking a soft market testing exercise in preparation for tendering a contract for the supply and installation of sensors for Solent Transport FTZ drone sensor network. The Council is aiming to commence formal tender of the contract during December of this year in order to achieve a contract award date of February 2024. The Council is keen to discuss potential approaches with experienced market leading organisations prior to commencing formal tender. This will help ensure that the tendering and subsequent contracting strategy adopted will allow for optimum bid solutions. The aim of the market testing is to: o Explore the innovation, capability and capacity available in the market o Inform Solent Transport on placement and density of sensors required based on the Geography of the Solent o Explore compatibility and synergies with the wider project o Feedback on our approach Our key considerations are: 1. How the solution captures the data and how it is then uploaded to the Soton UAV servers to complete delivery (spec of server to be provided) 2. How long infrastructure and sensor supply lead times are as well as responsiveness to any issues 3. Assurance of provision of back up sensors and sensor data in the event of failure 4. Viewing the suggested solution at supplier test site or virtually with own drone system 5. How both hardware and data security is managed 6. Solent Transport and our partners will provide sites for installs in advance where possible, but sensors, installs, decommissions may be required throughout the project as locations become available 7. The FTZ funding is until June 2025. All work must be completed by May 2025. Suppliers are invited to intend an online event via TEAMS Thursday 2nd November 10:00-11:30 to find out more about the drones project and the required sensor network.
