Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply and installation of a CCTV system at the Birmingham Ofwat office has reached the award stage, with the contract successfully given to OCS Group UK Limited. The tender falls under the video-surveillance systems industry category, classified as goods, and the location of the project is the West Midlands region in the United Kingdom. Initiated as a call-off from a framework agreement, this selective procurement process came to a close with tender activities completed by 9th March 2026, followed by the active award on 10th March 2026. The contract, valued at £16,607.33, will span from 10th March 2026 to 10th March 2029.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in security systems and surveillance technology. Though the contract was awarded, similar future opportunities can be expected given Ofwat's strategic interests in upgrading its infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in video-surveillance systems, particularly those with experience in framework agreements, could find similar engagements beneficial for scaling their operations. The involvement of large suppliers like OCS Group UK Limited suggests a competitive landscape where businesses with robust capabilities and track records are well-suited to compete.
