TPE Video Surveillance System (VSS/CCTV) Renewal

Descriptions

First Transpennine Express (TPE) has a business plan commitment (BPC) to renew the legacy station CCTV deployed across its station network with a new, fit-for-purpose VSS / CCTV solution. This new VSS/CCTV solution shall not only address the serious obsolescence risks that exist on the current CCTV infrastructure, it will also play a strategic role in the future management of station operations and improved customer experience through the network-wide deployment of video analytics and new camera technologies (AI).The purpose of the Project Requirement Specification document is to define the scope of works and deliverables that are required for this important project.TPE are seeking bidders to provide detailed proposals that are.• compliant with railway industry and UK national standards• High functionality, innovative and transformational• robust and proven technologies• cost certain and provides measurable value to TPE and its stakeholdersExisting TransPennine Express CCTV assets have significantly exceeded their 15-year asset life expectancy and are now all exhibiting age-related problems with increasing failures that are impacting the operational safety, service quality and passenger experience across the network.Some stations have experienced complete failure of all CCTV cameras and systems and with excessive lead times for legacy parts, this is not an acceptable scenario for any modern UK railway station.The majority of TPE CCTV cameras are analogue and have therefore have low-resolution image quality and below that expected and needed by TPE and its stakeholders. Modern IP cameras have vastly superior image quality and range including the ability to offer leading edge innovations such as video analytics and artificial intelligence applications.
