Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council is procuring CCTV installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance across multiple locations in Exeter. The requirement covers supplying and installing IP CCTV cameras, wireless, 4G and 5G transmission equipment, electrical supplies and containment, with full integration into the Council’s existing Genetec Video Management System. Ongoing services include preventative and reactive maintenance, fault resolution, firmware updates and system performance management. This is primarily a CCTV and electronic security services requirement, with associated installation works and communications equipment. The Council is the buying organisation and the work is delivered within the city. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement was divided into one lot.

The procurement is complete and has reached award: Select Electrics Ltd was selected on 6 August 2026, subject to a standstill period ending 17 August 2026. The awarded value is £1,860,000 excluding VAT (£2,232,000 including VAT). The awarded contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2032, with one optional 24-month extension available to 31 August 2034, subject to satisfactory performance. Exeter City Council used an above-threshold open procedure. Three bids were received, with two reaching the final stage, including one from an SME. Evaluation was based on quality at 80% and price at 20%; suppliers also had to meet economic and technical selection criteria. Electronic submission in English was allowed, with bids due by 5 June 2026 at 12:01.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for a contractor able to deliver both CCTV installation and long-term operational support for a local authority. Credible competitors for a future requirement would need to combine electronic security engineering with electrical installation, communications networking and dependable maintenance capability. Relevant experience should include deploying IP camera systems, wireless and mobile-data transmission, electrical supplies and containment, and integrating new equipment with an established Genetec Video Management System. The buyer’s stated certification requirements include NICEIC, HERS and IPAF, so firms would need to hold these credentials or structure delivery around appropriately accredited resources. Strong technical quality, responsive fault resolution, preventative maintenance, firmware management and performance monitoring would be central to competing effectively, alongside the financial and technical capacity to support a city-wide estate.
