The tender is open for bids until 13th November 2019, with the contract expected to begin on 6th January 2020 and run until 5th January 2025. This opportunity falls under the services category, specifically focused on sound and video recording apparatus, and it is located in the East of England within the United Kingdom. The estimated total contract value is £250,000 for a five-year period. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in audio and video recording solutions, alongside repair and maintenance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the technology and audio-visual sectors, particularly those capable of providing interoperable systems and easily available hardware, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The need for modern and expandable recording systems within police operations indicates a potential for innovative solutions that can enhance service delivery and meet specific operational requirements. ## Notice This procurement exercise is seeking to appoint a provider of a Digital Interview Recording solution (the "DIR Solution"). The DIR Solution shall include the hardware and the supporting services for the relevant police stations. The solution should not be bespoke and should be capable of supplementing with easily available hardware and devices. The DIR Solution is procured by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Suffolk on behalf of itself and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk (together, the "Participating Authorities"). The DIR Solution shall be available to both Participating Authorities. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Suffolk is the lead contracting authority and will be the signatory to any contract awarded at the conclusion of this procurement process. The approximate total value of the DIR Solution for the maximum period of 5 years across for both Participating Authorities is PS250,000. The purpose of the DIR Solution is to deliver an interview solution that allows for future expansion and makes use of interoperability with current systems where processes benefit. The specific scope of this project is detailed in the Specification (contained in Volume 2 of the tender pack). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c2ff9e0-afb5-40b4-bfe2-70db5ff6b518 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 13 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Jan 2020 - 5 Jan 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORFOLK CONSTABULARY AND SUFFOLK CONSTABULARY PROCUREMENT UNIT | | Locality | IPSWICH | | Post town | Ipswich | | Postcode | IP5 3QS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Martlesham & Purdis Farm | | Westminster constituency | Suffolk Coastal | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 32330000 - Apparatus for sound, video-recording and reproduction - 32333000 - Video recording or reproducing apparatus - 32333100 - Video recorders - 32353000 - Sound recordings - 33120000 - Recording systems and exploration devices - 50343000 - Repair and maintenance services of video equipment ## Release History - 11 Oct 2019 at 07:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c2ff9e0-afb5-40b4-bfe2-70db5ff6b518 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c2ff9e0-afb5-40b4-bfe2-70db5ff6b518 11th October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=30306&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/32209 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.suffolk.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
