The procurement falls under the category of emergency and security equipment, with a total budget of £20,000. The tender is currently in the open stage and is set to close on 1st March 2021. Successful bidders will be expected to deliver their products to SE23 3PQ, with the contract period commencing on 5th March and concluding by 31st March 2021. This is an open procedure for tenders below the specified threshold. This opportunity presents substantial potential for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in communication equipment and technology. Businesses experienced in upgrading and maintaining radio systems or those offering innovative security solutions would be particularly well-positioned to compete. The end-user, the Horniman Public Museum, requires reliable products to replace ageing technology, indicating a readiness for modern and efficient solutions. ## Notice The current radio system at the Horniman consists of x72 HYT TC- 610 two way radios assisted by a repeater which was installed around 2015. The TC-610 is an analogue two way radio manufactured by Hytera. As it is built to IP66 standards the TC-610 is protected from dust and it can be fully submersed in water of up to 3 meters. A standard 1200mAh Li-Ion battery comes with the radio itself and can keep the TC610 operating for up to 12 hours. The radio stands at 117mm tall and 54mm wide. There are currently 2 radio channels in operation on site covered by one Ofcom Licence. The second channel is only usable by a few radios, so is not used day to day. The TC 6-10 radios are no longer available to purchase through nationwide suppliers due to age and reduced functionality. This has resulted in some operational difficulty for the teams on site when one breaks. Although well maintained the current radio system has reached the end of its life and requires full renewal. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1d7439cc-bb75-452b-a1aa-4ab94f8cc0b8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 1 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Mar 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | 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 | THE HORNIMAN PUBLIC MUSEUM AND PUBLIC PARK TRUST | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE23 3PQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Lewisham | | Electoral ward | Forest Hill | | Westminster constituency | Lewisham West and East Dulwich | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35100000 - Emergency and security equipment ## Release History - 25 Feb 2021 at 17:15 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1d7439cc-bb75-452b-a1aa-4ab94f8cc0b8 - 16 Feb 2021 at 14:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1d7439cc-bb75-452b-a1aa-4ab94f8cc0b8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1d7439cc-bb75-452b-a1aa-4ab94f8cc0b8 25th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3a94bd16-ae12-4150-bd62-30b115c4a6ac Invitation to tender and client requirements - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/676ba379-e022-4eec-9026-228a1a70c1e1 Appendix A: Scope of works - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a9883ab3-07da-4703-8a90-5aea89b2a709 Appendix B : rules for visiting contractors - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/414f911e-286e-4bf3-a861-30a16094af85 Appendix C: Cost sheet - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4d8db861-0f06-4e90-a95d-f1fa31a63eaa Appendix D : Horniman T's & C's - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/682ef8ae-ac26-4208-951c-fb6be9387d26 Appendix E: form of tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4cab220f-267f-452f-8907-2f0259c320cf Tender clarifications ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
