Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Amplius Living, a sub-central government public authority based in Milton Keynes, involved a direct award contract for the installation, servicing, repairs, and maintenance of Door Entry and Access Control systems across their sites in the Central and North regions of the UK. This contract, valued at £1.5 million, was awarded to A.G.S. TECH LIMITED, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) located in Blackburn. The contract covers services in various UK regions including West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, East of England, and South East. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract period running from 12th June 2026 to 30th September 2026, ensuring continuity of service during a transition period until a new provider is established by November 2026.
