Notice Title
Replacement CCTV System
Notice Description
The Royal Agricultural University (RAU) is seeking to replace and modernise its existing CCTV infrastructure with a scalable, enterprise-grade video management system to enhance the safety, security and operational resilience of the University estate. The University estate includes academic buildings, student accommodation, public areas, access routes, vehicle routes, car parks, open campus environment and a working farm. The CCTV system forms a critical component of the University's security infrastructure and supports the work of the Security and Welfare team in monitoring incidents, assisting investigations and maintaining a safe campus environment. The preferred solution is Avigilon Unity Enterprise video management platform by Motorola. The appointed Supplier will be responsible for the design, supply, installation, configuration, commissioning and ongoing support of the new CCTV system across the University estate. The contract is expected to last 5 years. There will be two site visit opportunities offered as group sessions (meaning that there will be competing suppliers in attendance in each group). Bidders are requested to limit the attendees to a maximum of 3 personnel. Accompanied campus tour will include the opportunity to take photographs, take measurements and ask questions. We would ask that you email to book a site visit with us. The dates are; * Wednesday 03 June 2026 - 14.30 to 16.30 * Thursday 04 June 2026 - 10.00 to 12.00 All enquiries, clarification questions , booking site visits and submissions are to be completed by email to di.procurement@rau.ac.uk
Lot Information
Lot 1
Options: Our estate will be going through an expansion and renovation process over the 5 year period of the contract. We would expect that as new buildings are built and campus improvements take place that additional security cameras will be required to be installed or existing cameras relocated as part of the natural evolution of change. Our CCTV requirements will grow as we grow.
Renewal: We would use the extension year to run a new open tender process and possible migration project.
