Summary of the contracting process

NS&I, a central government public authority, has completed the contracting process for its London office's Access Control project. The tender involves building and facilities management services, centred around the installation and maintenance of security systems that control entry and exit points at their new office located in London. The contract was awarded to Ablaze Building Solutions Limited, a small business based in Camberley, with a contract period spanning from 10 June 2025 to 9 June 2030. The procurement followed a direct method without competition, adhering to legislation 2023/54, and was noted as being below the threshold for competitive bidding.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in security system services, particularly those looking to expand their operations within the public sector. As NS&I's procurement needs encompass hardware elements like FOBS and card readers, alongside maintenance services, businesses specialising in these areas may find viable growth opportunities. Companies that offer innovative solutions in building and facilities management, particularly those experienced in servicing offices and government properties, would be well-suited to engage in similar future contracting opportunities with public authorities like NS&I.
