Technical requirements: The contracting authority Transport for London (TfL) awarded a contract to migrate its analogue CCTV system to a digital Internet Protocol (IP) based CCTV system. This would improve the flexibility and feature set of the surveillance system, allow users (operational users include TfL, the Metropolitan Police and London Boroughs) and operators to improve the traffic flow of London's road network and bring the CCTV network up to date using the latest digital technology.
The contracting authority Transport for London (TfL) awarded a contract to migrate its analogue CCTV system to a digital Internet Protocol (IP) based CCTV system. This would improve the flexibility and feature set of the surveillance system, allow users (operational users include TfL, the Metropolitan Police and London Boroughs)and operators to improve the traffic flow of London's road network and bring the CCTV network up to date using the latest digital technology.
In mid 2016 TfL’s executive agreed and set out a Telecommunications and Data Network Strategy. The strategy set out TfL’s high-level approach to rationalising and consolidating TfL’s networks in order to reduce costs and increase efficiencies and standardisation. The strategy for TfL’s above ground networks is to consolidate TfL’s commodity outsourced network service contracts onto a single, pan-TfL service contract (TfL’s Access and WAN Contract). TfL ran a procurement to award the Access and WAN Contract which concluded in December 2017 and services commenced in August 2018 (with a potential maximum term up to August 2028).
The strategy and approach is for the Access and WAN Contract to be the replacement contract to deliver the services currently provided by Interoute Networks Ltd. However, for technical reasons (as set out in VII.2.2 (Reasons for modification)) there is a requirement to extend the Digital Telecommunications Network for CCTV and other Traffic Operations applications contract to allow the Access and WAN Contract service provider to build and deploy a new infrastructure.
The Access and WAN Contract will be the replacement contract to deliver the current services. However, due diligence identified that majority of connections are provided by a subcontractor to Interoute Networks Ltd and these products are being withdrawn by subcontractor and are not novatable to the Access and WAN service provider. Furthermore, the network infrastructure is at, or near, end of life so needs to be replaced. Therefore due to these technical reasons the Digital Telecommunications Network for CCTV and other Traffic Operations applications contract needs to be extended to allow sufficient time to build and deploy the new, replacement infrastructure under the Access and WAN contract. The extension of the Digital Telecommunications Network for CCTV and other Traffic Operations applications contract will be for up to 36 months to allow sufficient time to build and deploy the new, replacement infrastructure under the Access and WAN contract.


Winner: Interoute Networks Ltd (formerly Easynet Ltd)
