    Brief

    This programme develops and tests AI-enabled approaches to detect tool theft and knife detection within organizational security requirements. It comprises two operationally distinct but technically inseparable components: (1) a time-limited pilot to develop and validate AI detection capabilities, with a formal go/no-go decision at month twelve to assess accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and scalability for potential production deployment; and (2) the technical infrastructure, security controls, governance frameworks, and data residency solutions required to conduct the pilot safely and compliantly. Suppliers should demonstrate expertise in AI computer vision, security systems integration, data governance, and ability to work within institutional compliance requirements.
