Summary of the contracting process

Salvation Army Housing Association procured services to maintain, repair and install door-entry systems, gates, security systems and CCTV across its housing assets. The work is electrical and mechanical building-installation maintenance, including associated electrical installation. It was divided geographically into three areas: North, covering the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber; London and South East, covering London, the East of England and the South East; and South West, covering the South West. The housing association is the buyer, with Faithorn Farrell Timms acting as procurement consultant. The requirement suits contractors able to provide responsive regional security and building-systems services, rather than suppliers focused only on equipment supply or one-off installation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an above-threshold open procedure. Ashley & McDonough Limited was selected for the North lot at £1,458,333 excluding VAT (£1,750,000 gross); ABCA Systems Limited for London and South East at £1,283,333 excluding VAT (£1,540,000 gross); and Severnside Security Ltd for South West at £525,000 excluding VAT (£630,000 gross). Awards were dated 10 August 2026. The initial contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with extensions of up to two years and then a further two years, subject to performance and service reviews; the maximum end date is 30 November 2033. The tender closed on 29 May 2026, enquiries ended on 18 May, and the scheduled signature date is 30 October 2026. Evaluation weighted price 40%, written quality responses 25% and presented quality responses 35%.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Salvation Army Housing Association for regional maintenance and installation of door-entry, gates, security and CCTV systems. A credible future competitor would need technical capability in electrical and mechanical building installations, electrical installation, security systems and CCTV, together with the operational capacity to cover one or more defined regions. Suppliers should be able to evidence both economic standing and technical suitability, as these formed the selection requirements, and present clear written and spoken quality responses. The lots were suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, and suppliers could pursue multiple lots without a stated limit on awards. Competition was substantial: nine bids were received for each of the North and London and South East lots, and six for South West; three and two reached the final stage respectively.
