Summary of the contracting process

South Derbyshire District Council procured automated door access works for the main pedestrian entrance at Etwall Leisure Centre. The requirement covered the supply, installation and commissioning of automated door openers, together with warranty support. The project’s purpose was to improve usability, accessibility, safety and operational performance for people using the leisure centre. The work falls within the doors and door-installation market, combining goods supply with installation services. Delivery is at Etwall Leisure Centre in South Derbyshire. The council is a sub-central public authority based at its Civic Offices in Swadlincote. The requirement involved one package of work and included installation of doors and related equipment rather than general building works or wider facilities-management services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. Wellingborough Door Company Limited was selected as supplier. The tender was evaluated on price weighted at 60% and quality at 40%. The package had an estimated value of £45,000 excluding VAT, or £54,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and has a value of £16,500 excluding VAT, or £19,800 including VAT. The contract period runs from 10 to 14 August 2026. The tender required public liability insurance of £10 million, employers’ liability insurance of £10 million and public indemnity insurance of £5 million, either already held or committed by the contract start date. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for the work.

This procurement shows a specific requirement for suppliers able to provide a complete automated-door solution in an operational leisure-centre setting. A credible competitor would need practical experience supplying, installing and commissioning automated door openers, and supporting them under warranty after installation. It would also need to demonstrate compliance with UK statutory requirements, building regulations, recognised standards and industry best practice, with a clear focus on accessibility, safety, reliability and day-to-day usability. The stated insurance requirements indicate that bidders need substantial public liability, employers’ liability and public indemnity cover, or a firm commitment to obtain it. Suppliers combining specialist door-access capability with dependable installation and aftercare are best placed for comparable work from this council.
