This procurement exercise for the new CCTV system at Liverpool Wholesale Market is a strategic upgrade designed to modernise site security and secure future operational efficiencies.
It is driven by a critical need for integration with Liverpool City Council's (LCC) existing infrastructure, which is managed by City Watch. This compatibility requirement is the primary justification for pursuing a direct award through the EPSO 628_23 framework. Marlowe Fire & Security Limited is the incumbent supplier for most LCC CCTV projects.
Beyond this technical alignment, this approach represents best practice in site security management, whilst also delivering financial benefits. The system is expected to facilitate future fiscal efficiencies by allowing for a reduction in static security presence.
