Repair and maintenance services of security equipment

Tender description

The new Broadmoor Hospital site has been built on land immediately adjacent to the old hospital. The Trusts have taken operational management of the new hospital in spring 2019 and have moved patients from the old hospital to the new hospital towards the end of 2019. The Trusts have a number of legacy security systems and new digital systems being installed in the new hospital that have already been procured. The current in house team maintains some aspects of the legacy systems, supported by specialist maintenance contractors from time to time. The Trusts have awarded a contract for the delivery of planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive maintenance and equipment life cycle replacement service, delivered in a partnership. The hospital is compliant with HMPPS category B prison standards, having perimeter intrusion detection systems, supported by CCTV. General surveillance cameras as well as internal ward and garden CCTV are broadly used. The hospital perimeter initially included both perimeters for the old and new hospitals, however, these were joined together prior to the patient move, to enable further development works to take place securely before the old perimeter has been decommissioned. The secure perimeter covered an approximate circumference of 1.4 km (91 zones) and has reduced to approximately 1.1 km when the old hospital perimeter has been decommissioned. The scale of the project has incorporated all systems in the new hospital and the perimeter Detection and CCTV in the old site. Given the high security nature of the Trusts, together with the complexity of new and legacy systems being maintained, the Trusts adopted the competitive dialogue procedure to define the designated solution(s) that has best suited and met the trusts short, medium and long term needs and requirements.
