Electronic Security Systems (ESS)

Description

Our site safety and security is vital and enables us to deliver life's essential service to our customers, and maintaining our estate successfully is crucial to keeping our frontline operation working. We believe there is an opportunity to improve the efficiency of our supply network and maximise the benefit to our operations, by exploring new innovations and ways of working across our site infrastructure. We are keen to work with suppliers who can meet our different Electric Security System (ESS) needs (which includes provision, installation and maintenance of CCTV, Access Control, IDS, PIDS), to ensure we implement the most efficient and beneficial solution. Thames Water intends to award a number of Framework Agreements for ESS Products, installation and maintenance, covering both standalone systems and those that communicate with our centralised alarm monitoring centre to optimise security and value for money. The agreements will be awarded under the following lot structure: Lot 1 - Supply and install of new Enterprise ESS products Lot 2 - Maintain existing Enterprise ESS products on the TW estate Lot 3 - Supply, install and maintain new and existing Standalone ESS products on the TW estate Please note that, due to the sensitive nature of the PQQ and ITN content, a Non Disclosure Agreement will need to be signed before access can be granted to our eProcurement system. Lot 1: Supply and Install Enterprise ESS Products Supply, install and maintain ESS Products, which includes CCTV, Access Control, PIDs as well as various other preventative and surveillance systems. The types of services we require for these products are installers who design, supply, install and provide Planned and Reactive maintenance and Repairs that are connected to our Alarm Monitoring Centre (AMC). We are looking to award to a number of suppliers to cover requirements across the AMP8 period where work will be awarded mainly through mini competitions with other agreement suppliers. Lot 2: Maintain Enterprise ESS Products Maintain ESS products that are connected to our Alarm Monitoring Centre (AMC), Planned and Reactive maintenance and Repairs. We are looking to award to 2 suppliers and award annual contracts under the framework agreement to cover all planned and low value reactive works by region to each supplier with major reactive works to be competed between both. Lot 3: Install and Maintain Standalone ESS Products Maintain ESS products that are NOT connected to our Alarm Monitoring Centre (AMC), Planned and Reactive maintenance and Repairs. We are expecting to award to 5-6 suppliers with planned and minor reactive maintenance to be awarded on an annual basis between suppliers with install projects and major reactive works to be mini competed between all suppliers.
