## Summary

The Victoria and Albert Museum is seeking tenders for the upgrade of its Access Control System at its South Kensington site in London. This project will involve the replacement of vital software and hardware components associated with the security system, which engages with other remote V&A facilities. The tender, classified under the goods category and focusing on security software packages, has a budget of £450,000 and will be carried out through a selective procurement method. The tender period ends on 2nd December 2020, with the contract expected to commence on 1st March 2021 and continue until 31st March 2025.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in security technology, particularly those that can provide innovative software solutions and installation services in sensitive environments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, enabling them to engage in high-quality project management and adapt to the unique challenges of working within a public, Grade 1 listed building.

## Notice

The Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum is planning to replace key components of its Access Control System (ACS) which is currently installed within its South Kensington site in London. The existing system also interfaces with other remote V&A sites. The small amount of equipment installed in these locations will also need to be interconnected via the organisation's data network. The Access Control System upgrade project will primarily involve the replacement of the software application, door controllers and input/output controllers. All ancillary equipment, including power supplies, are to be retained. The project will require very careful planning, high-quality Project Management and a flexible and adaptable approach given the challenges associated with installation works within a public, Grade 1 listed building.
