## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is planning a procurement process titled "Provision of Thermal Imaging Technology - Request for Information" in the surveillance and security systems industry. This initiative is based in Swansea, Wales, with a key engagement end date set for 17th November 2020 at 16:00. The procurement method is intended as market engagement to inform potential future procurement exercises, aiming to enhance the DVLA's understanding of available thermal imaging solutions without being a request for quotes.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in standalone thermal imaging technologies and associated solutions that can accurately measure temperatures in a non-intrusive manner. Companies that manufacture or supply thermal imaging devices not integrated with existing CCTV systems, or can provide supplementary handheld devices for temperature verification, would find this opportunity particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to respond and participate in this initial information-gathering phase to position themselves for potential future competitive procurement activities.

## Notice

The Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency invites information from the market to assist in informing the Agency's requirement setting for a potential procurement exercise for the provision of thermal imaging technology. This notice is issued by the DVLA with the intention to engage with the market in order to improve the Agency's understanding of the solutions available to meet its capability requirement, and is not a request for quotation. The DVLA may chose to conduct a competitive procurement exercise following completion of this market engagement exercise, but is not committed to doing so. DVLA would welcome information from the market pertaining to standalone thermal imaging technologies and associated camera solutions, capable of taking precise temperature readings of numerous persons entering site, and providing accurate alerts to operators when an elevated temperature is identified/recorded, and which do not integrate with existing CCTV security systems. The DVLA would be interested in receiving information from the market of solutions which can be supplemented by additional hand-held devices for the purpose of double checking temperatures by in-house operatives. Information should be provided via email to FMCommercialMailbox@dvla.gov.uk by 16:00 on Tuesday 17th November 2020.
