‘Live streaming and covert cameras’ – DWP seeks £2m suppliers for surveillance tech
The department currently intends to issue a contract notice opening bidding on the opportunity around mid-May, with a deal expected to come into effect in early September
DWP looking to sign multimillion-pound deal with suppliers of surveillance technology, including covert cameras and live-streaming tools
Via Public Technology:
The Department for Work and Pensions is planning to sign a multimillion-pound deal with suppliers of surveillance technology, including covert cameras and live-streaming tools.
A newly released commercial notice reveals that, later this year, the DWP is planning to appoint one or more suppliers to an initial three-year contract to support the department’s “live surveillance strategy” …
A new set of tech providers will be tasked with delivering a range of surveillance technologies, beginning with “vehicle-based video storage and recording equipment [which] allows video footage to be captured and securely stored on discreet equipment”. The tools being sought by the DWP must “continuously record during deployments and retain high-quality video evidence even when network connectivity is unavailable”.
The installed technology will include “covert cameras integrated discreetly inside and outside the vehicles … [that] are designed to remain hidden from public view while providing clear, reliable footage, with the ability to provide high-quality footage in all weather conditions and during hours of darkness.
Alongside the cameras, the DWP is seeking to deploy an “encrypted live streaming capability [that] provides secure, real-time transmission of video from the vehicle to authorised users on a viewing platform”.
This will be enabled by an “application for viewing and controlling … [footage which] serves as the central interface for authorised users to monitor live video feeds and remotely manage connected in-vehicle devices on DWP devices, [and through which] users can control cameras, initiate or stop recordings”.
