Lot Information

Lot 1

GWR intends to award a contract to Motorola Solutions UK Limited pursuant to Regulation 50(1)(c) and (e) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 for the supply of Motorola VideoManager 12.1 Video Management Software (VSM) (software as a service) for its existing fleet of approximately 2100 Motorola Body Worn Video Devices VB400 Body Camera (BWVD) for a period of 24 months. The contract will also provide the ability to purchase replacements for vandalised/damaged devices

Procurement Information

* the services can only be supplied by a particular economic operator due to the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights. Regulation 50(1) (e) Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (UCR); and * the supply is a partial replacement of existing BWVDs on an ad hoc basis. A change of supplier would oblige the GWR to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. Regulation 50(1) (e) UCR. Due to a number of factors not least industry reform, business continuity and system resilience, affordability, and minimization of change impact, this contract award and extension is deemed to be the optimal approach to provide a sustainable solution for the period concerned as it is clear that any change in contracting partner at this juncture would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs. Such award and extensions allows for the continuation of services to support business continuity at a lower cost with a minimal relative additional cost of implementation. The BWVDs are only compatible with Motorola VideoManager 12.1, and therefore no reasonable alternative or substitute solution exists. The software algorithm programme for the VMS is propriety to Motorola group. A change of supplier at this juncture would result in the supply having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in the operation and maintenance of the fleet of BWVDs. To move the services away from the current service partner would involve significant and costly technical migration and implementation activities. Any technical or software architecture changes would mean that existing investment would be lost, along with commercial benefits due to supporting and or adding more than one system at this juncture. This contract extension will ensure business continuity as there will be no operational disruption of the services.
