SO16583 - Provision of the Supply, Installation & Maintenance of CCTV System

Border Force is a law enforcement command within the Home Office.

They secure the UK border by carrying out immigration and customs controls for people and goods entering the UK.

In addition, the CCTV system is to provide general surveillance of the domestic corridor and baggage collection areas.

Border Force has an aged (obsolete) CCTV system, the new system is to provide general surveillance of the approach corridor to passport control, the desks, along with identification of people entering the international baggage collection area from passport control and thereafter overview images of their movements as they leave the area.

The requirement is to replace the existing obsolete system with an up to date solution incorporating fewer cameras positioned at several key locations.

The new requirement is to utilise the latest surveillance technology whilst making use of the legacy cabling associated with the old system.

The new system used for incident investigation purposes opposed to continuous live monitoring by an operator.

To avoid unnecessary charges associated with their removal, any existing cameras and control equipment that will not form part of the new resolution will remain in situ.
