    Brief

    This contract seeks a supplier to design, build, deploy, and maintain a secure self-service digital system for use in prisoner accommodation within correctional facilities. The system must include a core infrastructure (database, middleware, and app/web server) accessible through in-cell televisions using Raspberry Pi 4 devices. The supplier will host the system either on their own resilient infrastructure across multiple data centers or on a third-party cloud-based platform (IaaS), ensuring 24/7 availability and disaster recovery capabilities. The supplier is responsible for full system design, Raspberry Pi device installation and testing, ongoing technical support, maintenance, and ensuring zero service disruption during any single component failure. The contract runs for 5 years from the final facility launch, with optional extension periods totaling up to 3 additional years.
