Metropolitan Police - Unattended Ground Sensors:
Police Forces around the UK have a number of Technical Support Units. As part of their daily duties, TSUs need unattended ground sensors to automatically detect the presence of persons or vehicles and transmit activity reports back to a control rooms or to a mobile team or trigger other equipment such as image recorders. This technology helps us to secure and monitor areas without the need for staff to be present. This reduces resource costs and poses less risk. We wish to set up a 2-year national call-off contract for all other police forces and other related government agencies to call-off this contract too, as detailed in Annex 5 of the contract. There is an initial requirement for 18 units, which need to be delivered before 31.3.2010.

The Environment Agency depends on telemetry systems to provide real-time rainfall, river and coastal data for England and Wales essential to our flood forecasting, detection, warning, and incident management services; to manage water resources and droughts; provide evidence for permit determination; and, for assessing the state of the environment. We are also increasing the use of telemetry for monitoring assets, water quality and air quality. The data and information is shared with our customers and partners.
