Description

Digital Catapult is looking to establish StudiosUK, a cluster of interconnected research facilities leveraging 5G and future networks capability to enable the exploration of convergent visual content production technologies - such as the use of high-density LED walls, motion-capture, real-time rendering engines and new forms of real-world capture.
Studios UK will be a cluster of interconnected facilities that leverage private 5G standalone (5G-SA) networks with multi-access edge compute (MEC) infrastructure hosting machine learning algorithms to enable real-time animation, wireless data transfer, volumetric capture, motion capture and AR broadcast; thus, enabling co-creation, remotely testing applications and experiences for Film and TV productions.
These studios will be utilised for collaborative research and development projects, skills training initiatives and commercial productions within the creative and manufacturing sectors. Examples of projects could include productions utilising in-camera VFX and Virtual Production, 5G enabled device testing, digital twin testbeds, real-time multi-site collaboration and tools and workflow development.
There are two sites, the first is within the M25, to be confirmed, the second is at PROTO, Abbott's Hill, Baltic Business Quarter, Gateshead NE8 3DF and both must be of specification to integrate with existing equipment. This procurement is for PROTO only, a procurement for the requirements of the site within the M25 will be subject to a separate procurement.

Wrexham Smart Towns Expansion – LoRaWAN/ IOT Sensors and Associated Hardware Framework

Wrexham County Borough Council wish to establish a Framework for LoRaWAN IOT sensors and other associated hardware for the expansion of the Wrexham Smart Towns initiative. The SMART Towns initiative was launched in 2022 and has proven highly successful. It is hosted within the Regeneration team at Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC), links to the Council plan and is backed by the Welsh Government. WCBC is now seen as one of the leading authorities in the UK on implementing IOT (Internet of Things) sensors to obtain data to help the Council make better informed decisions. These sensors obtain data sets such as footfall, dwell time, air quality and traffic data etc. Progress has seen some key benefits to the local authority, including the ability to make efficiencies. The use of moisture sensors within the city centre has provided data that ensures the local authority embeds a smarter way of working, as it only has to water necessary plant beds. The authority is now looking to expand on the success of the pilots and explore more possible projects, such as flood monitoring (flood risk team), air quality (open spaces team), road temperature sensors to identify savings on gritting, sensors to highlight potential savings on energy, and the technology is to be introduced to parts of Social Care to ensure SMART is a way of life to ensure the safety of our residents Please see the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document, pricing list, appendices and other supporting documents for full details of the proposed work. These have been published and are available on the eTenderWales (Bravo Solutions) online e-sourcing portal, which can be accessed through this web address: https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/. You will need to be registered as a supplier on both Sell2Wales/FTS and eTenderWales. To access and download the documents you will need to be logged into eTenderWales and search for the Invitation to Tender (ITT). You can look up the tender with the following reference: project_59662, itt_118024 - Wrexham Smart Towns Expansion – LoRaWAN/ IOT Sensors and Associated Hardware Framework. Interested suppliers may ask clarification questions though eTenderWales. If you wish to tender for the work, your tender submission will need to be uploaded though eTenderWales.

AMS PSQ

The contracting Authority ('Authority') in relation to this notice is the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). The scope of services is organised into key service areas and described at high level below, these are split into the 'Core Services' and 'Optional Services'. It should be highlighted at this stage that all services listed could be delivered by the successful Supplier, but the volume and introduction date of the 'Optional Services' may be varied at the sole discretion of the Authority. The commencement of the 'Core Services' is due to start on the Service Commencement Date, which may be deferred at the discretion of the Authority. The Authority expects the split of services below to remain the same. Core Services • Tower Service Management (TSM) - Service Management functions that are delivered by the Supplier that are essential to the correct running of both ITIL service and the integration of other services within the MPS ecosystem • Application Management Services (AMS) - The effective support and maintenance of Applications within the MPS estate, to ensure a highly available and maintained estate with IT Service Continuity Management at the heart of the Service. • Applications Security - Aligned to industry best practice, integrated with the specific security functions and the Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) to ensure that all services are delivered in a highly secure manner with data and users protected throughout all aspects of the service. Optional Services • Managed Cloud - The effective support and maintenance of deeper elements of the application and associated technology stack in order to give a greater level of end-to-end accountability for application service and performance • Digital Workplace - The effective support and maintenance of software and associated technology that manages End User Devices and allows end users to access the tools and platforms they need to work effectively regardless of location. • Agile - Agile Application development methodologies to augment the existing capability within MPS and to further enhance the capability in order to mature the service The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice is to notify the market of the opportunity of the MPS AMS procurement and to provide information of how to participate in the engagement. The MPS is looking to contract with a Supplier to deliver support for circa 50 applications (although this figure may change during the procurement) of varying size, complexity and business criticality. Whilst the relative importance of the applications supported vary, they all play a vital role in enabling the Authority to fulfil its mission of delivering more trust, less crime and high standards. The MPS is looking for a partner who can deliver the core scope of the obligations to a high standard as these are crucial for the running of the service. The optional services may be brought into scope over the life of the contract at the discretion of the Authority and the supplier will be required to show their capability in this area. The successful supplier will also have the potential to deliver project and change work, based on delivery of the Core Services and at the behest of the Authority. The current MPS estate operates as a two-tower model compromising of an Infrastructure Tower and an Applications Tower with overarching process integration and cyber security services provided by the Infrastructure Tower. The Authority expects the AMS Supplier to work closely with the Infrastructure Supplier to facilitate their role as service integrator. The Authority operates a number of other strategic vertical applications which the supplier may need to interact with on an ad hoc basis. The Authority wants to ensure that there is adequate resilience built into its supplier ecosystem and that there are no conflicts between the AMS Service and the management of the overarching service provided by the Infrastructure Supplier. The Authority therefore reserves the right to include exclusivity of supply between the Infrastructure and AMS suppliers i.e. the same supplier cannot fulfil both contracts (as either the primary Bidder, consortia member or subcontractor). Where a Bidder submits a tender to become the AMS supplier, it shall be construed that it acknowledges and agrees to the restriction outlined above. The procurement will build upon and develop the current delivery model, leveraging modern technologies to provide a data led, silent and frictionless service. These enhanced services will be proactive, agile and flexible delivering an improved user experience, providing benefit to both operational and frontline policing whilst offering greater value for money.
