The project focuses on the procurement of goods within the surveillance system industry category. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with key deadlines including the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) submission extended to 2nd September 2024 at 09:00 am. Located primarily in the Reading region, this tender aims to improve the efficiency of the supply network through new innovations. The procurement will be divided into three lots: supply and installation of new Enterprise ESS products, maintenance of existing ESS products, and a combined supply, installation, and maintenance of standalone ESS products, across the Thames Water region. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the security and surveillance industry, particularly those adept at implementing sophisticated surveillance systems, access controls, and maintenance services. Companies with expertise in CCTV, IDS, PIDS, and other preventative security systems should find this project attractive. The framework agreements, set to cover four years with possible extensions, offer substantial business growth potential through recurring contracts and mini-competitions. Suppliers that can deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions will be well-positioned to benefit from the long-term nature of these agreements, making this an ideal opportunity for those aiming to secure a stable and lucrative partnership with Thames Water. ## Notice Our site safety and security is vital and enables us to deliver life's essential service to our customers, and maintaining our estate successfully is crucial to keeping our frontline operation working. We believe there is an opportunity to improve the efficiency of our supply network and maximise the benefit to our operations, by exploring new innovations and ways of working across our site infrastructure. We are keen to work with suppliers who can meet our different Electric Security System (ESS) needs (which includes provision, installation and maintenance of CCTV, Access Control, IDS, PIDS), to ensure we implement the most efficient and beneficial solution. Thames Water intends to award a number of Framework Agreements for ESS Products, installation and maintenance, covering both standalone systems and those that communicate with our centralised alarm monitoring centre to optimise security and value for money. The agreements will be awarded under the following lot structure: Lot 1 - Supply and install of new Enterprise ESS products Lot 2 - Maintain existing Enterprise ESS products on the TW estate Lot 3 - Supply, install and maintain new and existing Standalone ESS products on the TW estate Please note that, due to the sensitive nature of the PQQ and ITN content, a Non Disclosure Agreement will need to be signed before access can be granted to our eProcurement system. ### Lot Information Supply and Install Enterprise ESS Products Supply, install and maintain ESS Products, which includes CCTV, Access Control, PIDs as well as various other preventative and surveillance systems.
