Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought maintenance services for security and building systems across its sites. The work covered access-control systems, CCTV, automatic doors and provision of network video recorder (NVR) CCTV equipment. The requirement was described as initial call-offs for 2026–2027. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol, and delivery was stated for the South West of England. The services combine security-system maintenance with electrical and mechanical building-installation maintenance. This is relevant to suppliers able to maintain access-control and CCTV systems, service automatic doors and provide NVR CCTV equipment for a multi-site university estate.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. KSCM Limited was awarded the contract on 20 August 2026 for £150,000. The stated contract period runs from 21 to 22 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 20 August 2026 at 17:00. The buyer used a procedure described as “Other - BVS”. The procurement was presented as an initial call-off and covered the university’s sites, with the requirement grouped across access-control maintenance, CCTV maintenance, automatic-door maintenance and NVR CCTV provision. The published data does not set out a separate evaluation basis or more detailed supplier eligibility conditions. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable to participate.

The award shows that the University of the West of England purchases a combined package of security-system and building-installation support across its sites, including access control, CCTV, automatic doors and NVR equipment. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate practical capability across these systems, including both ongoing maintenance and CCTV equipment provision, rather than expertise in only one narrow area. Experience coordinating service across multiple university locations would be relevant to the scope. The successful supplier, KSCM Limited, is identified as an SME, indicating that a small or medium-sized business competed successfully for this package. The procurement used a route described by the buyer as “Other - BVS”; suppliers should be prepared to understand and meet the buyer’s requirements for that route when a comparable need arises.
