A comprehensive service and maintenance contract will be required to maintain the CCTV System. It is envisaged that there may be a requirement to install new IP cables across campus to move from the analogue platform. A cabling survey will be carried out and results will be made available to suppliers taken through to the tender stage. Providers will be required to provide: — experience/ability of cable installation, — cabling cost.
