Description

The Council is seeking a commercial partner for the commercial development of CCTV network monitoring and associated services and the supply of CCTV hardware.
The core CCTV infrastructure provides a solid platform for development, but is in need of a substantial technology upgrade to future-proof it.
Rather than simply procure a supply and maintenance contract to support this upgrade, the Council believes there is the opportunity to realise the commercial potential that it, as a local authority, does not necessarily have the expertise or resources to maximise income.
The object of this procurement is to enable the Council to:
• Reduce annual communications costs;
• Reduce annual maintenance costs;
• Minimise capital costs for installing new cameras;
• Improve image quality, including the evidential quality of images shared with law enforcement partners;
• Increase flexibility;
• Increase service resilience;
• Enable new income streams.
The Council is seeking to let a five year contract, with the option to extend for a further period to 31st May 2024, with a single provider that will bring commercial skills and as well as the design and installation of hardware.
