## Summary

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation has embarked on a crucial procurement process for relocating its CCTV infrastructure due to the demolition of its existing University Security Lodge. The process, titled "CCTV Relocation," involves the installation and commissioning of a new security system within the University's St Paul's Annexe Building in Portsmouth (UKJ31). The procurement process is in the award stage, effective from 31st October 2025, and is scheduled to complete by 31st January 2026. This direct award, valued at £999,471.63 (including VAT), was chosen to ensure continuity and technical compatibility as Impulse Engineering Limited, based in Surrey (UKJ25), is the supplier due to their existing interoperability with the University's systems. The project covers both services and works in the industry category of surveillance and security systems and devices, along with associated network infrastructure.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities by inviting participation from businesses that specialise in surveillance systems, electrical installations, server configuration, and network infrastructure. Given the direct award rationale reflecting technical complexities and continuity, businesses with strong technical capabilities in these areas can leverage this project for expanding their portfolios and demonstrating proficiency in large-scale security infrastructure projects. Moreover, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with a robust record of technical service provision and existing relational ties in the security technology landscape would be well-suited to engage in such contracts, particularly where specialised interoperability is required.

## Notice

The University Security Lodge is due to be demolished shortly, and all services and systems will be relocated to a newly constructed facility within the University's St Paul's Annexe Building. This requirement is time-sensitive, and any delay in relocation of the services and systems could significantly impact the broader site development plan, ultimately affecting timelines and cost efficiencies. This requirement involves a combination of services and works required to upgrade and optimise the security infrastructure at St Paul's Annexe. The scope includes the design, configuration, installation, and commissioning of a new security system, including Avigilon servers, control room equipment, and associated network infrastructure. The installation phase will cover the design, supply, and commissioning of the University's upgraded CCTV infrastructure. This will include: * Provision and installation of new network infrastructure, including connectivity to existing University systems. * Installation and configuration of servers and Network Video Recorders (NVRs) to support the expanded CCTV platform. * Fit out and commissioning of the Park Annexe, which will be developed into the new CCTV Lodge and serve as the centralised monitoring and control point. The total installation works are scheduled to last for three months, covering mobilisation, phased delivery across campus, testing, and final handover. At the conclusion of this phase, the installation contract will terminate, provided that the works are successfully completed and accepted. Alongside the physical works, the University will procure the Avigilon Control Centre (ACC) software package and associated licensing, support, and maintenance. This will run under a dedicated five-year contract to ensure system stability, security compliance, and ongoing vendor support. The software contract will include: * Full access to the Avigilon software platform and updates. * Security patching, upgrades, and feature enhancements for the duration of the contract. * Access to technical support (remote and on-site where required). * Warranty coverage in line with Avigilon's terms. * Installation Contract: 3 months, covering networks, servers, NVRs, and the CCTV Lodge at Park Annexe. * Software Contract: 3 years, covering Avigilon licensing, support, and updates. This dual-contract approach ensures that the University secures both the immediate delivery of the upgraded CCTV infrastructure and the long-term operational support necessary to maintain and develop the system.

### Procurement Information

The justification for this direct award is that a change in supplier could result in incompatibility and disproportionate technical difficulties. Under Section 41 and Schedule 5 of the Act, the justification for this requirement is based on: 1) Technical reasons, where the recommended supplier has technical interoperability with the existing system, and 2) Continuity with the existing supplier to ensure there is compatibility with the existing system.
