Notice Information

Notice Title

Sensor Channel Health Check

Notice Description

Expressions of interests are sought from potential providers that have the capability to develop and demonstrate algorithms that can be used for identifying and classifying defective channels so that they can be removed from the data stream prior to processing by other algorithms, as part of a larger data analysis system. The channel data would consist of time-series data from large arrays of sensors capturing noise and vibration data. The algorithms must be suitable for insertion into an open system and where they depend on the use of training data, a strategy for obtaining that data will need to be devised and implemented. A validation and verification strategy will need to be devised and the success of the algorithm(s) in identifying defective channels demonstrated. This work is to be delivered in accordance with the Systems Requirements document, which will be issued with the Invitation to Tender (ITT). The use of the Contracting, Purchasing & Finance (CP&F) system is a mandatory requirement for this Contract, the Authority must be assured that you have the technical ability to trade electronically and connect to the CP&F system. If this assurance is not provided Potential Providers will be sifted out during the DPQQ evaluation stage The Authority requires Potential Providers to comply with the Mandatory Selection Criterion for the Government's Cyber Essentials Scheme. Failure to comply will lead to Potential Providers being sifted out at the DPQQ evaluation stage. The Cyber Risk Profile for this requirement identified by the Cyber Risk Assessment is Very Low (Reference - 524751796). The security classification of the project will be OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE level. In relation to Health and Safety the Authority will exclude Potential Bidders that are unable to confirm their organisation has a Health and Safety policy that complies with current legislative requirements and Potential Bidders that have been in receipt of enforcement/remedial action orders unless the bidder can demonstrate to the Authority's satisfaction that appropriate remedial action has been taken to prevent future occurrences or breaches. Further information regarding exclusion criteria, minimum standards and the criteria for down selecting Potential Providers can be found within the DPQQ and it's supporting document 'Sensor Channel Health Check DPQQ Potential Provider Guidance'.
