OCR system for STS cranes Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated
Port of Helsingborg currently uses the GOS (Gate Operating System) system Visy Access Gate for its critical business processes, which includes OCR reading of containers on visiting trucks. To further streamline operations and ensure high precision in our workflows, Port of Helsingborg now wants to invest in extended functionality for OCR reading of containers lifted by the port's STS cranes. With this voluntary ex ante transparency, Port of Helsingborg announces its intention to award the contract for installation, equipment, support and maintenance agreements for extended OCR functionality to Visy Oy. According to the Act (2016:1146) on procurement in the utilities sectors, negotiated procurement without prior announcement is permitted in some cases, in this case 6:7 points 2 and 3 and 6:10 point 1.a-b are considered to apply. Section 7. A procuring entity may use a negotiated procedure without prior publication if what is to be procured can be provided only by a particular supplier because 1. the purpose of the procurement is to create or acquire a unique work of art or a unique artistic performance, 2. there is no competition for technical reasons, or 3. what is to be procured is protected by exclusive rights and can therefore only be provided by a particular supplier. Section 10. A procuring entity may use a negotiated procedure without prior publication for the procurement of goods, if 1. the contract concerns additional supplies from the original supplier provided that: (a) the supply is either intended to partly replace supplies or facilities or to expand existing supplies or facilities; and (b) a change of supplier would oblige the procuring entity to procure supplies that would be technically incompatible with those first procured or would lead to disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance, Grounds for exemption from public procurement o Visy Access Gate is a proprietary system developed and maintained by a specific supplier. The integration of additional OCR functionality requires technical compatibility and direct integration with the existing Visy system platform. o The supplier Visy Oy has exclusive rights to its software and the necessary APIs or other technical interfaces required to integrate the extended OCR functionality. o The OCR system and the associated equipment are an integral part of the Visy system and must be provided by the same supplier to ensure that all functions function properly. o Operating failures, system failures due to lack of integration with another system could have serious consequences for the business. The Port of Helsingborg is a logistics hub and an important activity for society. This means that operations are extra prioritized and important for our society. Problems with disruptions in the port's operations have major consequences. By using the existing supplier of Visy, risks are minimised and business continuity is ensured. In the event that no supplier has notified the Port of Helsingborg, via email to upphandling@port.helsingborg.se no later than 10 days after the advertisement is published that they can offer what is requested with full compatibility, the port intends to enter into an agreement with Visy Oy. Notification of award decision: Civil-law binding agreements only arise when both parties have signed a written agreement. Planned contract duration is 4 years with the possibility of extensions for 2+2+2+2 years. Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated
