The software system is Cyber Assurance of Physical Security Systems (CAPSS) Class 3 and associated card readers are Class 2
Lot Information
Lot 1
WWU is looking to improve security at all its sites. WWU's access control system and card readers have reached their end of life and WWU intends to replace these with a CAPSS Class 3 Software System and associated Class 2 NPSA Card Readers compliant with NPSA, NCSC and CAPSS. WWU intends to replace the current access control system with a platform used by most other UK GDNs. This system is already in use at our shared sites, so the proposed change will help ensure consistency across all shared locations.
Options: 5 years plus 5 further 1-year options (Total 10 years)
