The Provision of Smart Building Solutions using the internet of things

This Framework Agreement will provide Participating Authorities with the means to enable intelligent commercial type buildings. For the avoidance of doubt, this Framework Agreement is not concerned with domestic properties. Solutions primarily involve the installation of a sensory network that is connected, via wireless internet to cloud-based big data analytics enabling monitoring and control of energy usage, building occupancy and visibility of assets. The solution can be composed of several modular components which all work together to create a coherent platform for managing buildings to drive efficiencies across estates. The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Commercial Procurement Service seeks to introduce a new commercial Framework Agreement which will allow UK public bodies to procure Smart Building Solutions with no further competition. This will enable Participating Authorities to act quickly in realising efficiencies.
