Two-Phase Multi-Supplier Framework Agreement for Low Cost, Retro-fit, End-to-End, Internet of Things (IoT) Solutions to Alert, Monitor and Report on Ring Buoy Theft

Dublin City Council

Dublin City Council manages approximately 140 ring buoys in Dublin. Unfortunately, approximately 15 of these ring buoys go missing/are stolen every week. This problem exists across all 31 local authorities’ areas in Ireland, 18 of which manage coastal water safety and all of which manage inland water safety.
Dublin City Council's Water Safety Officer and Water Safety Ireland are jointly responsible for the monitoring and maintenance of the ring buoys in Dublin City. Inspectors visit each ring buoy location to checking the integrity of each ring buoy, its casing and the rope. All issues are manually recorded on a report sheet. This can delay the ring buoy replacement turnaround time. Dublin City Council now wishes to establish a framework agreement to procure low cost, retro-fit end-to-end, IoT solutions to alert, monitor and report on ring buoy theft (the Services) across multiple site locations in the Dublin region.
