The procurement is in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 11th December 2023. HIAL is seeking information on designing, installing, and commissioning the system, aiming to have it operational by March 2025. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in control systems and aviation technology to compete. Companies offering solutions for centralised data management, fault monitoring, and communication interfaces would be well-suited for this tender. The ability to deliver reliable and responsive services for Air Traffic Systems will be crucial for businesses looking to engage with HIAL and support the modernisation of their airport operations. ## Notice A centralised control and monitoring system for all Air Traffic Services assets and services at Barra, Benbecula, Campbeltown, Dundee, Inverness, Islay, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Sumburgh, Tiree and Wick John O' Groats airports. ### Lot Information Lot 1 HIAL operates eleven airports throughout the north of Scotland, each with varying degrees of CNS, MET and ancillary system supporting different types of ATS. The geographically diverse nature of the operation, the range of ATS equipment in use, and the importance of the provision of lifeline services means the delivery of an ATS Engineering Service is paramount to maintain equipment reliability, availability, and regulatory compliance. Currently, HIAL does not operate a centralised control and monitoring system for all ATS assets and services at all its airports. Fault identification relies on user notification and the manual raising of fault reports, which are then confirmed and responded to from Head Office at Inverness Airport. The implementation of an automatic RCMS will provide greater visibility of issues and allow a more responsive Engineering Service. The availability of statistical trend information will also support future asset replacement strategies and increase safety performance monitoring. HIAL wishes to receive information on options to design, install, commission, test and accept a new RCMS that centralises data from the eleven airports at Head Office. Over a phased approach, HIAL will include all CNS, MET and ancillary systems, electrical power, and communications links into a single source of truth for ATS system status. Options to be explored include: - Real-time status of CNS, MET and ancillary status (audible and visual alerts, definable through hierarchy) - Control options (where possible and supported through safety argument) - Provision of status information at Head Office (multiple terminals) and a consolidated display at each airport - Upgradeable configuration to support new interfaces and methods of operation - Automatic fault logging and trend analysis options - Telephone/SMS/email/web interaction - Multiple access levels to information and control through authorisation - Multiple interface options, including legacy (the supplier should identify options to interface legacy signals into the RCMS). HIAL is currently preparing to tender for its Engineering Services Provision contract, with the aim of implementing a new construct by the end of March 2025. The provision of centralised asset data by this date (or a subset thereof) would be invaluable to this process, therefore HIAL is looking for expediency in the design, delivery, and entry into operational service. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT491134 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | 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 | 24 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 11 Dec 2023 | | 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 | HIAL | | Locality | INVERNESS | | Post town | Inverness | | Postcode | IV2 7JB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Highland | | Electoral ward | Culloden and Ardersier | | Westminster constituency | Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey | | Delivery location | TLM61 Caithness and Sutherland, and Ross and Cromarty, TLM62 Inverness and Nairn, Moray, and Badenoch and Strathspey, TLM63 Lochaber, Skye and Lochalsh, Arran and Cumbrae, and Argyll and Bute, TLM64 Na h-Eileanan Siar, TLM65 Orkney Islands, TLM66 Shetland Islands, TLM71 Angus and Dundee City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 42 - Industrial machinery - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 34960000 - Airport equipment - 38343000 - Error-monitoring equipment - 38800000 - Industrial process control equipment and remote-control equipment - 38820000 - Remote-control equipment - 42967100 - Digital remote-control unit - 71311240 - Airport engineering services ## Release History - 24 Oct 2023 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT491134 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT491134&idx=1 24th October 2023 - Request for Information and Response Template - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT491134 Remote Control and Monitoring System - A centralised control and monitoring system for all Air Traffic Services assets and services at Barra, Benbecula, Campbeltown, Dundee, Inverness, Islay, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Sumburgh, Tiree and Wick John O' Groats airports. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.hial.co.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000747445 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=747445 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
