Summary of the contracting process

The Victoria & Albert Museum is seeking to upgrade its Access Control System (ACS) at its South Kensington site in London. The procurement is categorized under security software packages and was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The tender process concluded on 9th March 2021, with the awarded contract valued at approximately £139,053.50. The contract period runs from 10th March 2021 to 9th March 2025, allowing for substantial implementation and maintenance time, considering the complexities of working in a Grade 1 listed building.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in security systems and software, especially those offering innovative solutions for public institutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find themselves particularly well-suited to compete, given the requirements for high-quality project management and adaptable service delivery. The successful supplier, ATEC Security Ltd, exemplifies the kind of large-scale expertise needed for such projects, which could inspire similar entities to explore future contracts in the public sector.

Notice Title

Contract for the Provision of an Access Control system upgrade including maintenance and associated services at V&A sites

Notice Description

The Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum is planning to replace key components of its Access Control System (ACS) which is currently installed within its South Kensington site in London. The existing system also interfaces with other remote V&A sites. The small amount of equipment installed in these locations will also need to be interconnected via the organisation's data network. The Access Control System upgrade project will primarily involve the replacement of the software application, door controllers and input/output controllers. All ancillary equipment, including power supplies, are to be retained. The project will require very careful planning, high-quality Project Management and a flexible and adaptable approach given the challenges associated with installation works within a public, Grade 1 listed building.
