Summary of the contracting process

The University of Ulster recently concluded a procurement process for CCTV Maintenance Services across its campuses, located in Coleraine, United Kingdom. The contracting process, governed by Northern Irish devolved regulations, followed an open procedure, culminating in the award stage on 10th June 2026. The contract was awarded to Advanced Overwatch Limited on 9th June 2026, with an active status and a contract value of £233,893.72 excluding VAT. The contract period is set to begin on 1st August 2026, for an initial term of four years, with potential extensions up to an additional four years. This service falls under the industry category of Repair and maintenance services of security equipment and Closed circuit television services with a focus on comprehensive maintenance, software updates, equipment replacement, and staff training.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security solutions, specifically those offering repair and maintenance services for security equipment. Smaller enterprises that focus on technological maintenance and possess expertise in CCTV systems are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts, as demonstrated by Advanced Overwatch Limited, an SME, securing this contract. Potential future partners would benefit from the possibility of additional service extensions or renewals, supporting long-term business growth through sustained collaboration with educational institutions like the University of Ulster.

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.

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.

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 reprocurement 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."
