This initiative aims to assess the demand, supply, and feasibility of establishing a national collaborative arrangement for IoT technologies and services. The planning documents indicate that input from suppliers is being sought, with key deadlines such as the survey response deadline on 2 November 2018. The opportunity encompasses various services within the IoT industry and is intended to benefit the Scottish public sector, primarily focusing on efficiencies and economic advantages. This tender provides valuable opportunities for businesses engaged in IoT solutions, including those offering device management, data analytics, and security services. The planned collaborative arrangement will allow businesses to participate in a dynamic purchasing system, making it easier for them to access public sector contracts. Companies that specialise in technological innovation, data management, and IoT-related hardware and consulting services would be well-placed to compete for this contract, supporting the broader goal of enhancing digital capabilities across the Scottish public sector. ## Notice Scottish Procurement is undertaking an opportunity assessment to determine the demand, supply, scope and feasibility of establishing a national collaborative arrangement for the provision of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and services. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Scottish Procurement is considering the establishment of a collaborative arrangement for the provision of IoT technologies and services. IoT has a number of definitions but can be viewed as a network of dedicated physical objects that contain embedded technology to sense or interact with their internal state or external environment, connect and exchange data. This exchange of data can create opportunities for public bodies in terms of efficiencies and economic benefit. The scope of any new collaborative arrangement is still being considered however the broad scope could include: - Device management - Software that enables manual and automated tasks to create, provision, configure, troubleshoot and manage fleets of IoT devices and gateways remotely, in bulk or individually, and securely. - Integration -- Software, data, tools and technologies which will accomplish IoT related business functions within an organisation. - Data management -- Including ingesting IoT endpoint and edge device data, storing data from edge to enterprise platforms and providing data accessibility, tracking lineage and flow of data and enforcing data and analytics governance policies. - Analytics - Including processing of data streams to provide insights into asset state by monitoring use, providing indicators, tracking patterns and optimising asset use. - Subscription and connectivity management - Including subscription lifecycle management, stand-alone (on-demand) connectivity, interoperability and connectivity performance management. - Application enablement and management -- Including software that enables business applications in any deployment model to analyse data and accomplish IoT-related business functions. - Security -- Including software, devices, tools and practices facilitated to audit and ensure compliance, as well as to establish and execute preventive, detective and corrective controls and actions to ensure privacy and the security of data across an IoT solution. - IoT related hardware, eg. Sensors, gateways, etc - IoT advice and implementation services. This PIN is issued to provide advance notice to the supply market of this potential opportunity, but more importantly, to seek views and comments on some areas that will assist in the development of this opportunity assessment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT334202 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 22 Jan 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH6 6QQ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Leith | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 48 - Software package and information systems - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 30237475 - Electric sensors - 31712000 - Microelectronic machinery and apparatus and microsystems - 31712112 - SIM cards - 32260000 - Data-transmission equipment - 32400000 - Networks - 32510000 - Wireless telecommunications system - 35125100 - Sensors - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48200000 - Networking, Internet and intranet software package - 48514000 - Remote access software package - 64200000 - Telecommunications services - 64226000 - Telematics services - 64227000 - Integrated telecommunications services - 71316000 - Telecommunication consultancy services - 71700000 - Monitoring and control services - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72212200 - Networking, Internet and intranet software development services - 72212210 - Networking software development services - 72212215 - Networking developers software development services - 72212219 - Miscellaneous networking software development services - 72222300 - Information technology services - 72315000 - Data network management and support services - 72315100 - Data network support services - 72315200 - Data network management services ## Release History - 12 Oct 2018 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT334202 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT334202&idx=2 12th February 2019 - Supplier Focus Group - 22 February 2019 - Additional Session 13:00 hrs. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT334202&idx=1 1st February 2019 - Supplier Focus Group - 22 February 2019 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT334202 Internet of Things - Technologies and Services - Scottish Procurement is undertaking an opportunity assessment to determine the demand, supply, scope and feasibility of establishing a national collaborative arrangement for the provision of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and services. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000554718 - https://procurementjourney.scot/node/547/ - https://www.gov.scot/Resource/0051/00515583.pdf - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=554718 - https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2JNBHYG ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
