two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The current system, which comprises hardware (card readers, receiver/transmitter boards, PC/laptops, hard drives, etc), software and the access cards themselves is now at end of life, and while it currently functions reliably, parts and cards are no longer manufactured. and replacement items are either unavailable or extremely scarce.
We require a contractor to propose a replacement solution which works around existing equipment and hardware, and we require them to install and maintain the solution for a period of time after installation.
Installation will be on a site-by-site basis. The contract would also cover maintenance after installation for a period of 3 years +1 +1. Therefore, there is a total contract period of over five ½ years including extensions.
It is possible that there may be additional site locations that will be required.
A critical aspect of the contract is software implementation and support and integration with the client’s existing ICT architecture and infosec requirements. An appropriate level of security is being specified and the requirements of the contract in this regard will be clarified in due course.
The contract value is estimated £600,000 - £700,000 including VAT).
