The contract is split into two lots, consisting of:

Lot 1. Town Centre Public Safety Cameras, situated in public areas, predominantly within the Boroughs Town Centres. The system also operates a town centre public address system. Includes: routine inspection, service, testing, maintenance, and replacement/upgrade of cameras, recording, and ancillary equipment, including out of hours call out provision. The installation of new equipment may or may not include the installation of associated poles and civil engineering works. This lot will require the provision of a dedicated engineer to deliver the service. The lot will also require the provision of a single point of contact for fault reporting and emergency call outs 24hrs per day & 7 days per week, year round.

Maintenance of the system includes all cameras, recording systems and communication equipment.

Communication systems - In addition to the cameras Halton Borough Council has panic alarms and tannoy audio equipment that are integrated with the cameras to ensure public and staff safety. The maintenance of these systems will also be included in this Contract along with inspection and potential replacement/installations.

Traffic Information Camera Systems - situated on the main arterial routes within the Borough. Includes: routine inspection, maintenance and repair to the Council's network of 6 Cameras, currently made up of 4 fixed and 2 Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) enabled units, utilizing wireless link to the Council's IT system. Although not usually subject to the need for emergency arrangements, the Council will require an emergency contact as a precautionary measure. Outside of an annual service and inspection, these cameras are normally only visited when faults develop, due to the need for traffic management measures. Traffic management will be provided where required by the Council. This lot could include some weekend/overnight works to undertake routine maintenance to avoid the need for additional deployment of traffic management on the high speed road network.
