Title

Procurement of Digital Smart City Screens

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC) is looking to engage with the market in advance of procuring external and internal digital smart city screens specifically for the city centre, with the possibility of expanding across the borough.

WCBC initially plans to procure a large fixed display screen (3m x 2m) with the ability to expand our digital infrastructure hubs around the city centre. This is to provide visitors and our existing communities with vital navigation information, events, attractions, and changes to Council services. All our hubs need to be able to connect upon installation so that they can broadcast common messages simultaneously across Wrexham County.

In terms of requirements, this market engagement is intended to gather information on the infrastructure, software, management, updates, and security for both the software and the physical screens, as they are exposed to the elements and other external factors where they may be damaged. We would also like to receive indicative costs to inform the business case for approval.

Investment will be facilitated through our procurement handling process, with any cost over £10,000 advertised as interest through the Sell to Wales procurement portal.

Please email an overview of your solution along with costs to Tashi Jackson, Category Manager, by midday on Friday 14th April at tashi.jackson@wrexham.gov.uk.

Please ensure you only submit information that is relevant to the details outlined above. Include the reference: “Proc 23-07” in the subject heading of your email response.

Further presentations may also be held for additional market information on 20th and 21st April.

For more information on the project, please contact David Evans at david.evans@wrexham.gov.uk.
