African Reinsurance corporation (hereinafter referred to as 'the Client') invites qualified, experienced, and reputable security systems vendors and contractors to submit proposals for the supply, removal, and replacement of the existing Bosch CCTV camera system with Hikvision equivalent cameras at Africare Re’s Building located at Plot 1679 Karimu Kotun Stree, Victoria Island Lagos.

The existing CCTV infrastructure, comprising 61 Bosch cameras of varying types, has reached the end of its serviceable life and is no longer meeting the security and surveillance requirements of the facility.

The primary objectives of this project are as follows:

• To decommission and remove all 61 existing Bosch CCTV cameras currently installed across the facility.

• To supply and install 61 Hikvision CCTV cameras of equivalent type — comprising 41 dome cameras, 2 PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras, and 18 bullet cameras — in the same locations as the removed Bosch cameras.

• To integrate all newly installed Hikvision cameras seamlessly into the existing network infrastructure, Video Management System (VMS), and recording equipment.

• To ensure continuity of CCTV coverage across all critical areas of the facility throughout and after the replacement exercise.

• To test, commission, and hand over a fully operational Hikvision CCTV system to the Client upon completion of works.
