Agreement for IoT sensor Probes and Other Hardware Accessories

The Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) project is delivering a series of cycling and walking upgrades on key corridors linking key housing sites in the region with employment and training opportunities.

These key corridors will make up the Liverpool City Region Strategic Cycling & Walking network and aim to introduce clearly defined direct routes, which utilise off-road and segregated routes to encourage increased uptake in cycling and walking in the region.

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is responsible for providing complementary measures to promote and incentivise the walking/cycling infrastructure being delivered.

This will be through the introduction of a mobile phone application to promote the newly introduced cycling and walking network and a Local Authority data dashboard to monitor and analyse usage and other key data.

The data to feed these applications is collected through a series of IoT nodes placed at strategic locations across the cycling and walking network.

This tender is for IoT air quality (AQ) and weather sensor probes, as well as other IoT hardware accessories.

Whilst there is no guarantee of overall spend, the anticipated spend for these probes and hardware accessories is approximately £5K to £10K and may be more subject to available funding, between March 2021 and December 2021.
