Supply, Installation and Maintenance of CCTV Equipment

The requirement

The Council intends to procure a single supplier framework agreement to enable delivery of high-quality CCTV supply, installation and maintenance services, including three other boroughs.

The network of CCTV cameras operating in public areas is an integral part of the council’s approach to crime detection and prevention, and community safety. It protects the council’s assets and the wider community, as well as being used by the Metropolitan Police and other agencies for policing and counter-terrorism purposes.

‘A Safe Place to Call Home’ is one of the five missions of the council’s ‘Vision 2030’ strategy. Therefore, it is essential that the CCTV system be of a high quality, as well as reliable, to successfully achieve these aims.

• London Borough of Ealing
• London Borough of Hounslow
• London Borough of Southwark
