The contract period is scheduled to commence on 30th October 2020 and conclude on 29th October 2021.

Engaging in this tender could foster business growth through enhanced reputation and expanded government clientele, as the university underscores its commitment to advancing digital security systems. ## Notice The Authority is seeking to replace the current Instek Digital Command Centre Video Management System (VMS) and associated hardware with the purchase of a modern solution that will act as a bridge to modern technologies whilst future-proofing the core security function, keeping in line with the UoS Digital First Strategy detailed below. The current VMS links to approximately 370 CCTV cameras covering the estate. The camera data is written to one of 24 Digital Video Recorder/Network Video Recorder (DVR/NVR) systems which are located in throughout the estate. Digital First Strategy - Our ambition is to become a truly digital first university. Digital is at the core of what we do and involves people and culture as much as it involves technology.
