This procurement falls under the works category and is classified under surveillance and security systems and devices (CPV code 35120000). The tender was published on 30 June 2020, and the submission deadline for interested parties is 17 July 2020. The successful contractor is expected to begin work on 14 August 2020, with the contract concluding on 30 September 2020. Bids must be submitted exclusively through the University’s E-Portal, as email submissions are not permitted. This procurement is conducted as an open procedure, suitable for various types of organisations, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This opportunity to replace the VMS presents significant growth potential for businesses specialised in security technology and systems integration. Companies that provide modern surveillance solutions and can demonstrate expertise in integrating new technology with existing infrastructure would be well-suited to compete for this tender. Additionally, firms that align with the University of Sunderland's Digital First Strategy, which aims to enhance the digital capabilities of educational institutions, will find this contract particularly relevant to their offerings. ## Notice The Authority is seeking to replace the current Instek Digital Command Centre Video Management System (VMS) and associated hardware with the purchase of a modern solution that will act as a bridge to modern technologies whilst future-proofing the core security function, keeping in line with the UoS Digital First Strategy detailed below. The current VMS links to approximately 370 CCTV cameras covering the estate. The camera data is written to one of 24 Digital Video Recorder/Network Video Recorder (DVR/NVR) systems which are located in throughout the estate. Digital First Strategy - Our ambition is to become a truly digital first university. Digital is at the core of what we do and involves people and culture as much as it involves technology. Our learning, teaching and research, as well as our management and administration functions, are already supported by some innovative and efficient digital solutions. Our aim is to continue to develop a culture where digital skills and behaviours underpin everything we do.
