BT1682 5X body worn Cameras Cloud Based storage & Associated Docking Stations

Tender description

The Revenues Service brought Enforcement in-house in 2015 in order to improve identification and protection for the vulnerable, providing support and signposting whilst collecting debt owed to the council and generating income in the form of enforcement fees generated. The use of body worn cameras is vastly used in the industry and the government are looking to make this a legal requirement. The Revenues Service currently use camera’s however these are no longer supported by the supplier and new cameras are required. The use of body worn camera’s gives reassurance to the public that standards are consistently high and gives protection to our agents who can be at risk to threats of violence and abuse due to the nature of their role. Enforcement agents (formerly known as bailiffs) are regulated by the Tribunals Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, Schedule 12 and the Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013. The regulations permit visits between 6am and 9pm and each taxpayer must have at least one of hours visit in accordance with our procedures. Access to the council offices are not accessible out of hours and in addition working time will be lost in travelling to dock, download and collect camera’s. Therefore it is essential that the solution meets the requirement of the agents being able to dock and download at their home address.
