Summary of the contracting process

Funded by a grant of approximately GBP 242K from the Department for Science Innovation and Technology (DSIT), supplemented by an additional GBP 20K from NAC, the total project value is GBP 262,765. The central objective is the installation of state-of-the-art smart multi-purpose poles to replace traditional single-use street furniture along the Maritime Mile, spanning from Irvine train station to Irvine Beach Park. Classified under the 'General public services' sector, the project supports multiple use cases including CCTV/security, movement and waste detection, and enhanced connectivity, aiming to make the waterfront a national destination. The procurement process is in the 'Award' stage, with the contract scheduled to commence on 19th August 2024 and complete on 31st October 2025, with potential extensions of up to four years dependent on performance and funding.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for companies specialising in smart infrastructure, urban regeneration, and advanced wireless technologies. SMEs with experience in the delivery of integrated 4G or 5G networks, Smart Connected Places, and innovative urban technology solutions are well-positioned to participate. The project offers scope for businesses to contribute to a high-profile transformation with significant economic, environmental, and connectivity benefits. Given the project's focus on advanced technology and sustainable practices, companies offering expertise in EV charging points and augmented reality can also find valuable avenues for growth and innovation through this contract.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Smart Infrastructure Pilot Programme

Notice Description

In a landmark initiative set to propel North Ayrshire into the future of digital infrastructure, North Ayrshire Council ("NAC") has embarked on a Smart Infrastructure Pilot Programme ("SIPP"). This pioneering project is driven by a grant of approximately GBP 242K from the Department for Science Innovation and Technology ("DSIT") as part of a 'Smart Infrastructure' Pilot. The grant will support the rollout of innovative PAS 191:2023 capable innovative smart multi-purpose poles that will redefine NAC's urban landscape. NAC will supplement the grant by 20K for operation and maintenance, taking the overall project value to GBP 262,765. The SIPP is a pivotal component of DSITs Advanced Wireless Innovation Strategy. The strategy aims to be a catalyst for economic growth, connectivity enhancement, and the promotion of sustainable practices. This strategic investment will enable the procurement of state-of-the-art multi-purpose poles, in place of traditional single-use street furniture for a more versatile and sustainable infrastructure that supports a multiple use case ecosystem. Central to this endeavour is the Maritime Mile, the route from the Irvine train station to Irvine Beach Park, where the aim is to transform the area into a national waterfront destination. The Maritime Mile is one component of the 'Great Harbour' - a transformation of the waterfront in Irvine, North Ayrshire. The Great Harbour is a key component of the GBP 251m Ayrshire Growth Deal and is one of the most ambitious and transformational regeneration tourism proposals for the region. This significant investment is intended to regenerate the waterfront, turning it into a hub of transformational tourism and an exemplar of modern Smart Connected Places. Structured around key use cases such as CCTV/security, movement detection, waste detection, and the enhancement of visitor and business connectivity, the project is also poised to consider the integration of EV charging points and augmented reality experiences in the future. NAC's forward-thinking approach paints a future where the power of advanced wireless connectivity smartens public services and puts Smart Connected Places at the core of urban development.
