The buying organisation, FIRST GREATER WESTERN LIMITED, located in Wiltshire, United Kingdom, has awarded a contract to Motorola Solutions UK Limited for the supply of these devices and software. The industry category for this procurement is Surveillance and Security Systems and Devices. The procurement method used was a limited Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 13th March 2024. This tender award presents business growth opportunities for companies specializing in surveillance and security systems. Businesses that provide Body Worn Video Devices and Video Management Software solutions would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The contract duration is for a period of 24 months, offering a stable revenue stream for the selected supplier. The unique requirements specified in the rationale for the limited procurement method highlight the exclusivity and compatibility considerations involved in this contract, making it essential for businesses to align closely with the specified technical criteria to succeed in this competitive landscape. ## Notice It is our intention to undertake a new contract. The contract is for the provision to provide replacement of vandalised/end of life devices and renewal of VMS system for First TOCs (Train Operating Companies), for a period of two years. Such contract is to continue providing the solution pending review and definition of options for a potentially longer term alternative solution and subsequent procurement process. ### Lot Information Lot 1 GWR intends to award a contract to Motorola Solutions UK Limited pursuant to Regulation 50(1)(c) and (e) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 for the supply of Motorola VideoManager 12.1 Video Management Software (VSM) (software as a service) for its existing fleet of approximately 2100 Motorola Body Worn Video Devices VB400 Body Camera (BWVD) for a period of 24 months. The contract will also provide the ability to purchase replacements for vandalised/damaged devices ### Procurement Information * the services can only be supplied by a particular economic operator due to the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights. Regulation 50(1) (e) Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (UCR); and * the supply is a partial replacement of existing BWVDs on an ad hoc basis. A change of supplier would oblige the GWR to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. Regulation 50(1) (e) UCR. Due to a number of factors not least industry reform, business continuity and system resilience, affordability, and minimization of change impact, this contract award and extension is deemed to be the optimal approach to provide a sustainable solution for the period concerned as it is clear that any change in contracting partner at this juncture would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs. Such award and extensions allows for the continuation of services to support business continuity at a lower cost with a minimal relative additional cost of implementation. The BWVDs are only compatible with Motorola VideoManager 12.1, and therefore no reasonable alternative or substitute solution exists. The software algorithm programme for the VMS is propriety to Motorola group. A change of supplier at this juncture would result in the supply having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in the operation and maintenance of the fleet of BWVDs. To move the services away from the current service partner would involve significant and costly technical migration and implementation activities. Any technical or software architecture changes would mean that existing investment would be lost, along with commercial benefits due to supporting and or adding more than one system at this juncture. This contract extension will ensure business continuity as there will be no operational disruption of the services. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008739-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Mar 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FIRST GREATER WESTERN LIMITED | | Locality | WILTSHIRE | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN1 1HL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Swindon South | | Delivery location | TLI London, TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35120000 - Surveillance and security systems and devices ## Release History - 19 Mar 2024 at 07:27 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008739-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gwr.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
