- Lot 1 · #1Individual lot title not publishedStatus not publishedPublished valueNot publishedWWU is looking to improve security at all its sites. WWU's access control system and card readers have reached their end of life and WWU intends to replace these with a CAPSS Class 3 Software System and associated Class 2 NPSA Card Readers compliant with NPSA, NCSC and CAPSS. WWU intends to replace the current access control system with a platform used by most other UK GDNs. This system is already in use at our shared sites, so the proposed change will help ensure consistency across all shared locations.Contract periodNot publishedEligibilityNot publishedOptions / renewalNot published

Planning and rationale

No-engagement rationaleNot published |
Procedure rationaleWWU requires an off the shelf open protocol Access Control Software Management Systems and Card Readers that are to the Cyber Assurance of Physical Security Systems CAPSS Standard and hold the NPSA CAPSS Trademark and are therefore included on the NPSA Catalogue of Security Equipment (CSE). WWU believes that the Gallagher Command Centre & High Security Controller 600 and the Gallagher T20 MiFare Terminal High Security access control readers are the only software management system and card readers rated as Class 3 and Class 2 respectively which is a requirement for WWU. Hence, competition is absent for technical reasons.
WWU is relying on The Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016, Regulation 50 (1)(c)(ii). WWU believes that no alternative off-the shelf systems exist. |
