Summary of the contracting process

The Riverside Group Limited, based in Speke, Liverpool, is seeking contractors for the installation and maintenance of auto gates, doors, barriers, and external security systems across various regions in the UK, including Scotland, Liverpool City Region, South & Central, and London. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 18th November 2025. The contract, valued at £37.5 million (net amount), involves a structured lot system allowing potential bidders to target specific areas. The initiative follows an open procurement method under UKPGA 2023/54, aiming to commence on 1st May 2026, and is expected to run until 30th April 2029, with the possibility of two additional 12-month renewals.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the security and facilities management sectors, particularly those specialising in access control systems, door installations, and CCTV. The nature of the work, spanning multiple regions, could be particularly appealing to medium to large enterprises capable of handling extensive service contracts, although SMEs are also encouraged to apply if they undertake specific regional projects. The preference for quality over cost also indicates an opportunity for businesses focused on delivering high-standard installations and maintenance services, potentially enhancing their reputations within the public undertaking sector.
