Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent & Medway Town Fire Authority procured maintenance and support for its existing access control estate. The requirement covers ongoing servicing of access control systems and related support services across the authority’s operational estate in the South East of England, with the buying organisation based in Maidstone. This is a services contract for an established security and access control installation rather than a new system supply or construction project. The relevant classification is CPV 50324100, system maintenance services. Businesses operating in electronic security, access control servicing, security systems maintenance and technical support would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to support a public-sector fire and rescue organisation across multiple operational locations and maintain existing equipment reliably.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a further competition under the ESPO 628-23 Security Surveillance Equipment & Services framework, Lot 3 for Access Control Systems. The contract was awarded to G4S Secure Solutions (UK) Limited on 30 July 2026 for £98,830, inclusive of the stated contract value basis, and runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 July 2030. The tender submission deadline was 1 August 2026. The recorded procurement category is services, and the tender was marked complete. The award is active, with one supplier selected for the requirement. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a procurement structured around an established framework supplier route.

For a supplier assessing future work of this type, the procurement demonstrates demand from a fire and rescue authority for dependable maintenance and technical support of an existing access control estate. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in access control systems, planned and reactive maintenance, fault diagnosis, repairs, system support and the management of equipment already installed across an operational public-sector estate. Experience of working in security-sensitive environments would strengthen the proposition, particularly where service continuity, rapid response and reliable records are important. The route used also shows the value of holding a place on the relevant ESPO security and surveillance framework, or partnering with an eligible framework provider. The selected supplier’s large-company scale indicates that substantial operational capacity and established service delivery arrangements were important.
