Provision and Installation of CCTV at the Port of Dover - IMO 13 250/2.

Descriptions

Border Force (the “Authority”) is a professional Law Enforcement command within the Home Office.The requirement is for the supply and installation of a replacement CCTV system at the Port of Dover, to be owned and used solely by Border Force, which must meet the appropriate Home Office standards. This procurement involves both Goods and Services.The Authority has assessed the site and produced a feasibility study and an outline design. From this the Authority has devised an expectation of where the new CCTV is to be installed, which has been termed as the Operational Requirement (OR). The OR sets out the requirement for CCTV to be installed within the Authority's operational areas.The OR is to be used as the baseline requirement for developing the performance and detailed designs for the system to be installed.During the review of all Tender responses the Authority will select potential suppliers for undertaking the works with specific consideration given on their knowledge and skills for producing detailed designs based upon an issued OR and output based design requirement.The project consists of the design and build of a new IP based video surveillance system and review suite. This includes the provision of a dedicated, fully operational IT network and the supporting mechanical and electrical engineering systems for the Eastern Docks at the Port of Dover.The Contractor shall be appointed on a design and build contract. With this in mind, the Contractor shall note that the drawings inclusive within this Tender are indicative in nature and should allow for the full detail design and co-ordination for all services.A full warranty of at least one year (supported by on-site attendance for faults as detailed in the Statement of Requirements) for the newly installed system is required.The installation of the CCTV system will run alongside a complete rebuild of the Port itself and therefore it is likely that the CCTV installation will be in distinct phases, planned around the rebuild. Therefore the warranty periods may vary in line with the phasing Programme. Maintenance after the warranty period(s)end is not required.Bidders should note that the Authority is planning to hold Site Visits for those Bidders who wish to attend, during the period this RFP is open. It is recommended that Bidders interested in responding to this RFP take advantage of this opportunity, but note it is not a mandatory requirement to submitting a compliant bid. Requests to attend Site Visits should be made to the contact points given elsewhere in this document, i.e. to Jonathan Edwards, Janine Melia or Jacqui Myers. The requests should be made via the messaging facility within the e-Sourcing portal, once Bidders have obtained access to the Portal, and been attached to this event by the Authority. It is recommended that Bidders read the documentation within the event concerning this procurement, and the further details regarding the Site Visit, before they formalise arrangements to attend such a visit. The deadline for requesting a Site Visit is 9 October 2013. There will be no extension to this date. The Site Visits will take place over the dates of 16-17 and 21-22 October 2013. Only those Bidders whose request for a Site Visit has been confirmed by the Authority will be given access on the day in question. If Bidders have, for any reason, been unable to access the e-Sourcing portal in advance of the request deadline, they may, exceptionally, request a Site Visit by that deadline, via standard email to the same contact points. This email should include justification for the exceptional circumstances and why the request is made via email rather than through the messaging facility within the e-Sourcing portal.The resulting Contract may be enabled for usage by Other Government Departments.
