Summary of the contracting process

Thurrock Council commissioned servicing, repairs and replacement of door-entry equipment across its housing stock. The work also covers an annual programme of door-entry system replacements and associated access-control equipment, including car-park gates, roller shutters and other equipment considered necessary. Its purpose is to keep these systems compliant with relevant industry, manufacturer and safety standards. This is a maintenance and repair service for building access and security systems, rather than a supply-only purchase. Delivery is across Thurrock Council’s housing stock in Thurrock, Essex. The scope combines planned servicing and replacement with responsive repairs, covering multiple types of equipment used to control entry to homes and related housing facilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sureserve Compliance Fire Ltd through an open procedure. The award was made on 25 September 2026, at £2,553,253.34 excluding VAT (£3,063,904 including VAT). The awarded contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030, with two optional one-year extensions, potentially extending to 31 January 2032. The original tender estimated value was £3,758,730 excluding VAT (£4,510,475 including VAT). Bids were due by 14 April 2026, and the award decision was expected by 15 May 2026. Price counted for 40% of evaluation; the remaining 60% covered mobilisation, service management, communications, complaints, quality control, project process, environmental performance, resident engagement during outages and social value.

For suppliers tracking Thurrock Council’s housing maintenance requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a combined service covering planned maintenance, repairs and replacement of door-entry and related access-control equipment. A credible competitor would need to show it can service and replace systems across a housing stock, handle varied equipment including gates and roller shutters, and meet relevant industry, manufacturer and safety standards. The evaluation also indicates that technical delivery alone is not enough: the successful offer was assessed on mobilisation, ongoing service management, communication with the council, complaints handling, quality control and project processes. Resident engagement during outages, environmental performance and social value also formed part of the assessment. The outcome provides a relevant benchmark for firms with the operational capacity to deliver this broad service.
