Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Gentoo Group Limited focuses on the provision of automatic door servicing, remedial works, and responsive repairs across multiple locations in Sunderland, Houghton/Hetton, and Washington. Taking place within the Public Authority - sub-central government sector, this open procedure employed a ranked framework strategy to appoint two contractors. The procurement has undergone various stages, with its most recent status marked by the award and contract stage as of 21st October 2025. The contract is active and commenced on 17th September 2025 with a two-year initial contract period and options for extensions up to 2029. This procurement aligns with industry classifications for repair and maintenance services of electrical and mechanical building installations, carrying a gross value of £400,000.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the service and maintenance sector, particularly those specialising in electrical and mechanical installations. It calls for a 24-hour emergency breakdown cover, highlighting opportunities for companies capable of providing year-round, round-the-clock service responsiveness. The ranked framework approach is conducive to fostering competitive engagement, offering potential growth for large companies like ABCA Systems, which has secured a position as a supplier.
