Description

Transparency notice for AIVR Image Capture. AIVR is an image capture product and consists of 5 x portable AIVR go cameras and 3 x hardwired cameras on and underneath TfW’s class 153 fleet. Upon capture this footage is then stored and accessible in a central portal for review and utilises machine learning to ensure any personal information is fully GDPR compliant. This ultimately allows for remote route assessment without the need to access the track on foot or in cab, making the process far quicker and more efficient, and providing significant safety benefit.

In this instance, the \nrequirement for a like -for-like product , capable of seamless integratio n without disproportionate cost, \ndelay, or technical risk, means that competition cannot be meaningfully achieved. TfWR is therefore \nsatisfied that the conditions for a Direct Award under the Procurement Act 2023 are met, and that this \nprocurement route repr esents the only lawful, proportionate, and effective means of securing the \nrequired product within the necessary timescales.",
