Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured security equipment maintenance services for the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The requirement covers monitoring and maintenance of security CCTV systems and access control systems, together with call-off reactive works, remedial works and project works. This is a services contract for maintaining and repairing security infrastructure rather than supplying new general-purpose equipment. Delivery is associated with Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, SN2 1FL, and the wider South East region of England. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, with the requirement managed for STFC. Businesses specialising in electronic security systems, CCTV monitoring, access control maintenance and responsive security engineering would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 15 June 2026 at 2pm. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 23 July 2029, with an awarded value of £1,800,000 including the stated currency of GBP. Chubb Fire and Security Ltd was selected as the supplier, and its award is active. The requirement was treated as a single services procurement, covering CCTV monitoring maintenance, access control maintenance, and reactive, remedial and project works. The published award records the outcome and the contract period for this call-off.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for integrated security-system support at a UK research and innovation organisation. A credible future competitor would need operational expertise in CCTV monitoring, access control systems, planned maintenance, fault diagnosis, reactive call-outs, remedial repairs and project delivery. The requirement favours a supplier able to combine routine maintenance with responsive engineering capacity and larger improvement or installation projects, while supporting security infrastructure across the Swindon and wider South East area. Experience of delivering dependable security services for complex operational sites would strengthen a supplier’s position. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that capable smaller providers may be relevant where they can demonstrate the required technical coverage and delivery capacity.
