## Summary

The City of Portsmouth College is in the planning phase for the procurement of an integrated security system under the title "Integrated Security Systems Supporting Martyn’s Law Invacuation, visitor and carpark systems." This project falls within the industry category of surveillance and security systems and devices. The procurement process aims to ensure compliance with the anticipated requirements of Martyn's Law (Protect Duty).

The pre-market engagement phase concluded on 22nd April 2026, and insights from this period will shape the procurement strategy and tender documentation. A formal announcement is anticipated on 9th June 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in security system integration, visitor management, emergency alerting, and related services. Companies that can provide comprehensive solutions incorporating visitor control, car park systems, and emergency systems might find this project particularly advantageous. With the requirement to integrate new solutions with existing infrastructure, firms with expertise in complex system integration would be well-suited to compete. This procurement process not only provides a substantial contract value but also allows businesses to contribute to safety and compliance improvements at a governmental institution level.

### Planning Information

The pre-market engagement period has now concluded. During this phase, the Authority undertook a series of informal engagements with a range of suppliers to better understand current market capabilities, potential delivery approaches, and indicative cost profiles.
These engagements were conducted solely for the purposes of market intelligence gathering and did not form part of any formal evaluation or selection process. All suppliers were afforded an equal opportunity to participate in these discussions.
The insights gained will be used to inform the procurement strategy and the development of the forthcoming tender documentation. No supplier will receive any advantage in any subsequent procurement process as a result of participation in the pre-market engagement.
