Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council is in the planning stage of the Access Control Contract, aiming to reassess their access control systems due to the relocation of their headquarters from Shire Hall to Alconbury. The engagement period ends on 3rd June 2019, and the procurement focuses on the access control industry, specifically systems classified under CPV code 42961100. The buying organisation, LGSS, is inviting interested parties to share insights on transitioning from a closed protocol system to an open protocol approach. This initial outreach does not constitute a formal tender process but aims to gather market feedback.

This procurement process presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in access control systems, particularly those with experience in both closed and open protocol technologies. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) could find this tender accessible, as the council is interested in innovative contracting solutions during this transitional period. Companies capable of demonstrating the benefits and challenges associated with these systems may have a competitive edge in the forthcoming tender.

Notice Information

Notice Title

CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL ACCESS CONTROL CONTRACT

Notice Description

Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) are considering their options for their Access Control provision, in light of their forthcoming relocation of the HQ Building from Shire Hall to Alconbury. CCC are currently contracted to G4S Technology for their Symmetry system, and may look to extend this provision, certainly whilst the relocation takes place and the estate is accordingly reviewed and reduced. We welcome thoughts from providers in this market as to the most sensible way of contracting for this requirement, particularly in view of the potential costs of replacing a closed protocol system with that of open protocol. Please respond to this message via email to jon.collyns@cambridgeshire.gov.uk. Interested parties should note that this is not a formal tender process, and sales literature and expressions of interest are not requested. We would however be interested in comments around changing from closed to open protocol and the associated benefits and challenges.
