The Authority intends to purchase one drone and all associated ancillaries initially, as a security enhancement to assist the guard force capability. It is intended to use a single drone for a period of 6 months with all metrics studied to ensure value for money and fit for purpose. If an initial drone proves successful the Authority may exercise options to provide an additional 3 to 5 x drones to other major LSOC sites. As part of the package training will be required, to incorporate the General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC), and A2 Certificate of Competency (CofC) for 8 x pilots at the time of purchase of the drone. There will be an enduring requirement for further training if the options are taken up to purchase further drones. Maintenance and support arrangements will be required to ensure the capability always remains serviceable and operational. Note: The value of the contract is anticipated to be in the region of PS75,000 to PS125,000 in the event that the options to purchase additional drones and associated training and support are exercised. Duration: Delivery of the Core requirement, including hardware and associated documentation by indicative Q3 2022, with renewable maintenance contracts. Approved Drones.
