## Summary

The procurement process involves the UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) as the buying organisation, which is seeking proposals for a project titled "UK SBS-FM20192 - Essential Maintenance Upgrade of iSTAR Pro to iSTAR Ultra SE for ISIS neutron facility". The project falls under the industry category of security installations and is located in Swindon, England. The tender stage is currently at the Award stage, with the contract expected to commence on 4th January 2021 and conclude by 29th January 2021. This opportunity had a submission deadline of 30th November 2020, and the total contract value is estimated at £180,000, awarded to Vindex Systems Limited for £151,791.75.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in security system engineering and maintenance, particularly those with the capability to upgrade access control systems.

The project entails upgrading existing systems, ensuring compliance with operational requirements, and demonstrating innovative solutions, making it ideal for skilled service providers in engineering and technical support within the security sector.

## Notice

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Monday 30th November 2020 at 11:00am. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement: The functional lifetime of the majority of control panels on ISIS will be ending soon. To this end, we need to upgrade all panels on the ISIS door control network to iSTAR Ultra SE's. The ISIS Access Control system installed is the Tyco C-Cure 9000 Enterprise Architecture Access Control system (MAS & SAS). This system is installed throughout the STFC sites and controls access to key areas as defined by the STFC Security policy. The enterprise architecture puts significant risk on the commissioning of additional doors, events, clearances cardholders and creating new Satellite Application Servers. Any errors made in the commissioning could have significant impact not just to the individual project but across the entire Enterprise. Due to this complexity the minimum skill requirement for installation of systems installed within STFC, ISIS and associated partners is a Tyco Enterprise Partner. Overview of Required Work 1) Prior to installation, each iSTAR Pro must be re-created on the ISIS SAS within C.Cure 9000 including all relevant permissions, events and associations. 2) Retain the cabinets and upgrade all the iSTAR Pro's circuit boards to new iSTAR Ultra SE GSM & ACM Circuit Boards. 3) Test the operation of each new panel upgrade. 4) Remove the old iSTAR Pro information from the ISIS SAS. 5) Apply the new configuration to the iSTAR Ultra SE and fully test and commission onto the ISIS SAS and the site STFC MAS. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the Document Uploads tab within the Delta eSourcing Portal.
