Summary of the contracting process

The University of Ulster procured CCTV maintenance services across all its campuses in Northern Ireland. The requirement covers planned preventative and comprehensive maintenance, including normal wear and tear and supplier-caused damage, together with non-comprehensive maintenance and unscheduled repair call-outs for vandalism, accidental damage and misuse. The supplier must update CCTV software and licences, adjust or relocate camera fields of vision, and replace, install and commission cameras and associated equipment such as monitors, recording equipment and batteries. The scope also includes training University and associate staff in the correct use of CCTV systems. This is a security equipment repair and maintenance service, including closed-circuit television services.

The procurement is complete and was run as a single-lot open procedure. The estimated value was £247,000 excluding VAT (£296,400 including VAT). The contract was awarded to Advanced Overwatch Limited on 9 June 2026 for £233,893.72 excluding VAT (£280,672.46 including VAT), and signed on 24 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030, with extensions of up to 48 months, allowing a maximum end date of 31 July 2034. The University may also purchase additional CCTV maintenance if systems are added. Three bids were received. Evaluation weighted commercial submission at 60% and quality submission at 40%; economic and technical selection criteria applied. The contract is suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity indicates sustained demand from a university with CCTV systems distributed across multiple campuses, requiring one provider to deliver a consistent service and manage the contract at scale. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in CCTV maintenance, fault diagnosis, repair call-outs, equipment replacement, installation and commissioning. Capability should extend to planned preventative maintenance, software and licence updates, camera repositioning and staff training. Suppliers should be able to support both routine and damage-related work, including vandalism, accidental damage and misuse, while maintaining service across multiple sites. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing matters, but quality accounts for a substantial part of the decision, so demonstrable technical competence, responsive delivery and reliable contract management would be important.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Options: The option to procure additional CCTV Maintenance Services where extra CCTV systems are added over the life of the contract at any University campus. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In the event that the Contract is terminated prior to expiry of the proposed initial four (4) year contract period, the University reserves the right (but shall not be obliged) in that instance to offer the second ranked most advantageous Supplier from this Competition (second ranked Supplier), the opportunity to enter into a replacement contract with the University on the basis of the same contract terms, rather than undertaking a re-procurement exercise at that point. Any replacement contract entered into will be for the remaining unexpired initial contract period, with the same ability for the University to extend by a further period or periods of up to 48 months. Entry into any replacement contract with the second ranked Supplier shall be subject to that second ranked Supplier's offer (including its tender pricing) remaining unchanged from that originally proposed at the tender return deadline. In the event that either: (a) the second ranked Supplier is unable or unwilling to stand over its original tender offer to the University; or (b) the second ranked Supplier is unable or unwilling to enter into a replacement contract with the University on the basis of the same contract terms; or (c) the second ranked Supplier declines the opportunity to enter into a replacement contract with the University for any reason, then the University reserves the right to approach the next highest ranking most advantageous Supplier from this Competition in turn on the same basis. This process may, at the University's discretion, continue until all ranked Suppliers have been exhausted or the University decides, at its sole discretion, to undertake a re-procurement exercise.

Renewal: Initial term of 4 years with provision to extend for any periods up to and including 48 months.
