UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HOUSING 21, a public authority serving as the buyer, undertook a procurement process for the installation of solenoid activated door closers at Penfold Court. This contract was awarded to Karma Electrical & Fire Systems, an SME, in March 2026, focusing on works within the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKI3 region. The procurement was executed through a limited competition method below the threshold, typically involving lower value contracts. The award and contract related activities were completed by the end of March 2026, following a signing date of 27th February 2026 with the contract execution spanning from 2nd to 20th March 2026. The title of the tender was "Replacement Solenoid Activated Door Closers," classified under the industry category "Installation of doors," with a legal basis provided by UKPGA 2023/54. The contract valued at £76,428 (gross amounting to £91,713.6) signifies an important project for infrastructure development in residential areas managed by central government authorities.

This procurement process presents growth opportunities for businesses specialised in door installations and related electrical systems due to the specific nature of the project focusing on solenoid activated technology. Companies like Karma Electrical, which have expertise in electrical systems and are positioned as small or medium-sized enterprises, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. Engaging in such government contracts not only propels business expansion but also opens avenues for gaining credibility and establishing a strong presence within the public sector. The limited competition method ensures that SMEs have the chance to bid on contracts without facing overwhelming competition from larger firms, thereby fostering a competitive and diverse market environment.
