Summary of the contracting process

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council bought a specialist target-hardening security service for individuals and families at risk of domestic abuse. The service improves the physical security of homes to deter or prevent perpetrators forcing entry. It covers a comprehensive survey of each property and its perimeter, followed by a risk-based recommendation that reflects the property’s type and condition and the needs of its residents. The provider supplies suitable security products and installs them in the home. Potential measures include enhanced locks, padlocks, security fittings, alarm systems, fencing and associated security-equipment repairs and maintenance. This is a public-sector security and safeguarding service delivered across Solihull, within the West Midlands. The requirement is classed primarily as a service and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was evaluated on technical quality at 55%, price at 35% and social value at 10%. The contract was awarded to 24-7 Locks Secure Horizon Ltd, a Birmingham-based SME, on 22 April 2026, with the contract running from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2028. Its value is £150,000 excluding VAT and £180,000 including VAT. The council holds options to extend the arrangement by up to two years, subject to performance and requirements, with an end date no later than 30 April 2030. The original tender deadline was 1 December 2025 at noon, and the enquiry deadline was 13 November 2025 at noon. Minimum pass/fail requirements applied, although there was no separate participation-selection stage.

This award indicates demand from Solihull Council for suppliers able to combine domestic-abuse safeguarding with practical residential security work. A credible competitor would need to survey homes and boundaries, assess risks property by property, design an appropriate package, supply products meeting relevant quality standards and install them safely in occupied homes. Relevant capability includes expertise in locks, alarms, security fittings, fencing and the repair or maintenance of security equipment, alongside the ability to adapt recommendations to residents’ circumstances. The evaluation shows that technical delivery would carry greater weight than price, with social value also important. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence robust installation methods, reliable product sourcing, competent field staff, responsive service delivery and meaningful community benefit. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises are explicitly relevant to this type of requirement.
