The tender, titled "Supply of Door Controllers and Works associated", falls under the industry category of electrical installation and security equipment works. The process is at the "Award" stage with a completion status. The procurement method employed was direct, below threshold without competition, due to the technical compatibility and proprietary nature of the Keri access control system.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply of Door Controllers and Works associated

Notice Description

The works under Phase 3 of the Door Controller Replacement Programme at Great Western Hospital include: Replacement of Touchless Exit Devices: Installation of 331 touchless exit devices to replace existing plastic and push-button units. These new devices provide a hygienic, hands-free exit method, aligning with infection control standards and improving accessibility. Upgrade of Emergency Break Glass Units: Replacement of 363 non-compliant break glass units with compliant resettable emergency overrides. The new units feature: Double-pole power break for full compliance Key reset functionality for quick restoration LED indication and audible sound alerts to notify staff of activation and prevent misuse Associated Electrical and Wiring Modifications: Works include reconfiguring wiring to support double-pole compliance, integrating LED and sounder functionality, and ensuring compatibility with the existing Keri access control system. These upgrades are essential to maintain security, safety, and compliance across critical door locations within the hospital. They also support infection control measures and reduce operational risks associated with aging infrastructure. Rationale for Direct Award: The Keri access control system is proprietary, and ASG UK Systems Limited is the sole authorised distributor and maintenance provider for this system in the UK, as confirmed by the manufacturer. Technical compatibility requirements prevent integration of third-party equipment without significant risk to system stability and security. ASG UK has been the incumbent supplier for previous phases and provides dedicated remote support for Keri systems, ensuring continuity and compliance with the Trust's Fire Strategy and security standards.
