The tender is classified under surveillance and security systems, with an active status, and is being conducted through an open procedure below the threshold. Interested parties should submit their expressions of interest by 11 December 2020, at which point the tender period will conclude. The contract is expected to commence on 4 January 2021 and will run until 31 December 2025, with the project location based in Sunderland, North East England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the security and surveillance industries, particularly those offering innovative digital solutions for video management systems. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as their participation aligns with the procurement's suitability requirements. Companies that can provide modern technology that enhances safety and security will find a conducive environment to grow through this contract, as the University aims to integrate modern technologies while ensuring the continuity of critical security functions. ## 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. Our learning, teaching and research, as well as our management and administration functions, are already supported by some innovative and efficient digital solutions. Our aim is to continue to develop a culture where digital skills and behaviours underpin everything we do.
