Lot 4 covers the full project life cycle for active security on sites and within buildings including laboratory / animal facilities. It will be important for the successful bidder to be able to demonstrate experience in integrating different systems/components into a common reporting and management system if the technology is different than currently in operation. Passive infrastructure is likely to be limited and will be mainly undertaken by contractors under Lot 1 and Lot 2. Therefore, there is likely to be collaborative working arrangements between these lots. The existing CCTV and security systems employed throughout the Weybridge site are as follows: • CCTV – Pelco; • Security – Hi-Sec (obsolete equipment) and Plan (new equipment). There is no requirement to deploy the same equipment, but any new devices or systems must interoperate and form part of a single security view on site activity. For works in containment facilities the successful bidder will be required to comply with the same obligations as entering any containment facility. If required, they may need a supply chain containing containment experienced suppliers, or they can access the containment providers under Lot 1 of this framework. The successful bidders bidding for Lot 4 will be required to demonstrate prior experience of working within a campus environment supporting critical facilities and undertaking works within an operational environment. The successful bidders will need to demonstrate proven capability to provide services through a supply chain, including design and management.
