## Summary

Leicester City Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for an "Auto Bollard System Pre-Market Engagement." This initiative is aimed at exploring replacement and extension options for the existing Automatic Bollard System within the city centre's pedestrian zone. Key dates include the engagement end date, set for 1st May 2019. The procurement concerns the software and information systems industry, with a delivery address located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom.

This pre-market engagement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in security technology and automated access systems, as the Council seeks to upgrade its infrastructure with the latest market solutions. Companies equipped with innovative technology, particularly those focused on software systems and infrastructure management, will be well-positioned to engage with Leicester City Council and potentially gain contract opportunities in future rounds of tendering.

## Notice

Leicester City Council is considering options for the replacement and extension of its existing Automatic Bollard System. The current system comprises of a series of static and retractable bollards around the city centre pedestrian zone controlled from a senior user terminal (in a control room) supported by CCTV (most locations). The control system allows for access to be granted or rejected through a remote user terminal; vehicles approaching these access and egresses can communicate via intercom directly to the control room. LCC are not fully aware of what currently exists in the market as options to us, even though the business requirements are known. The Council wants to ensure that they will be using the latest technology and would like advice on what is possible. Please note this is a Pre-Market Engagement and not a call for competition.
