Access Control System Replacement

The Horniman wishes to appoint a suitably qualified contractor to carry out replacement of the existing door access systems.

There are 19nr. secure doors across the museum to address, along with two new doors waiting to have access control added. The contract will replace controllers within the existing metal box housings. Data cabling work for the project is being carried out by the client prior to the ACS project; the successful ACS contractor will find data cabling already run from the nearest data switch cabinet with a cable end coiled adjacent to each controller box ready for their connection to new controllers. The successful contractor must also carry out associated software installation, configuration and migration work. New key cabinets linked to the ACS are also to be installed and configured. The contractor is required to hold a changeover workshop prior to commencement, to manage the process and provide staff training in the completed system.

The contractor must minimise new fixings and conceal works as far as possible. In particular, fixing to stonework and other historic features is prohibited. The effective management of health and safety risks is considered key for the successful delivery of these works.

Contractors are also invited to supply a quotation for an optional 1 year maintenance and software support agreement, to run concurrently with the main contract defects liability/rectification period.

The desired programme for the project is as below and further detailed within the tender pack:
