    "description": "Bids to include for the supply of an initial 'essential spares' package, on-site instruction/training in equipment assembly and operation and in use of the software, containers for equipment storage and transport, and a comprehensive warranty. The successfully awarded Bidder(s) must confirm that the equipment will be fully supported in the event of breakdown or malfunction. Further, upon award, the Bidder(s) must fully-test and quality control the system prior to shipping, providing sample data acquired by the supplied system itself. All components must be co-bore sighted, and alignment and offset calculations provided (precise offset coefficients for pitch, roll, yaw) etc. Beyond the usual free 12 or 24 months inclusive service and warranty situation which also must include any software module update free of charge too, we would need bidders to be able to provide additional optional 3 - 5 years warranty and servicing package including the above updates and a further optional 5 - 10 year package too if available. Ideally, free data connectivity is important and bidders are expected to provide this so that we can interface, extrapolate and manipulate data without charge to us as the Authority from the device and bidders should explain how this will be conveyed in their bid response. Costs of delivery, installation, set up and commissioning of all items, training, data management and technical support must also be conveyed and included as part of bidders responses within this document. The scope of this requirement can also include delivery, training, familiarisation, installation and disposal of any of the above or future related or bespoke items. The scope of the requirement can also include any maintenance, servicing, logistics and storage of the above items. (SC Ref:678499)",
