Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the CCTV and Access Control Maintenance at the University of East Anglia has been concluded through a direct award method. The buying organisation is the University of East Anglia, a sub-central government public authority located at Norwich Research Park, Norwich, UKH15, United Kingdom. The contract is in the award stage, with details finalised on 27th February 2026, and it covers preventative and reactive maintenance of critical security systems on campus. The contract term extends from 1st March 2026 to 28th February 2030, with options for additional purchases as necessary. The decision for direct award was due to technical reasons and the potential disruption that a supplier change could cause, outweighing any cost benefits of a competitive tender.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in security services, such as CCTV and access control systems. The awarded supplier, Check Your Security Limited, based in Norfolk, exemplifies the suitability of small to medium enterprises able to provide specialised technical services that integrate seamlessly with existing security infrastructure. Businesses within the UK focused on closed-circuit television services and possessing capabilities for technical continuity and system compatibility would be well-positioned to compete for similar procurement opportunities, especially under the light-touch regime that this contract falls within. Expanding into or establishing an expertise in campus security systems could lead to more direct awards and increased market presence.

Notice Title

CCTV and Access Control Maintenance

Notice Description

The service relates to preventative and reactive maintenance and repair requirements of the critical CCTV, access control and intruder alarm systems installed across the university campus.

Procurement Information

The direct award of this CCTV maintenance contract is justified for the following reasons: - The business interruption and switching costs associated with moving to a new supplier would outweigh any potential savings from a competitive exercise. - Changing supplier would introduce incompatibilities with existing systems and a linked contract, creating significant technical challenges in both operation and maintenance. - Awarding contract to maintain continuation of service on the basis that a change in supplier at this stage would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation.
