Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing procured servicing and maintenance for automatic gates and barriers, a security equipment maintenance service (CPV 50610000). The work covers the upkeep and repair of these access-control systems across Southern Housing’s properties in the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West of England. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of equipment or construction works. The scope is described as automatic gates and barrier servicing and maintenance; no further breakdown of equipment types or specific tasks is provided in the procurement description.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Alphatrack Systems Limited. Southern Housing used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 9 September 2026, for £66,000. The contract period runs from 30 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. The original tender deadline was 1 August 2026 at 1pm. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are described in the published procurement data.

The award demonstrates demand from Southern Housing for planned servicing and maintenance of automatic gates and barriers across a geographically dispersed property portfolio, including locations in five English regions. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the technical capability to maintain and repair automatic gate and barrier systems, and the operational capacity to cover the relevant locations reliably. The selected supplier, Alphatrack Systems Limited, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller business was selected for this requirement. The procurement was run as a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route. The scale is a focused maintenance service delivered over roughly a year.
