Summary of the contracting process

Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council procured planned and reactive maintenance for its closed-circuit television systems across the borough. The requirement covers CCTV services, surveillance systems, cameras and associated apparatus. It is a public-sector service contract managed by the council for CCTV infrastructure located throughout the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon borough area. The work is relevant to businesses that maintain, repair and support operational CCTV networks, including suppliers able to respond to both scheduled maintenance needs and faults or other reactive requirements. The procurement concerns the council’s borough-wide CCTV estate rather than a single site or one-off equipment supply, so capability in managing multiple installations and service requirements across the area is material to the opportunity.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is marked complete. It used an above-threshold open procedure. Three bids were received, including two from SMEs. One lot was awarded to RJ ALARMS LLP at £490,704 gross. The award date is 30 July 2026, with the standstill period ending on 11 August 2026 and contract signature scheduled for 12 August 2026. The awarded contract period is 13 August 2026 to 12 August 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions allowing it to run until 12 August 2031. Evaluation weighted total net tender price at 70%, mobilisation of the contract at 20%, and the risk assessment and method statement at 10%. The tender estimated value was £467,971.45 gross.

This award demonstrates sustained council demand for borough-wide CCTV maintenance delivered through a formal open competition, with price carrying the greatest evaluation weight. A credible future competitor would need practical capability to provide both planned servicing and reactive fault response across a dispersed CCTV estate, supported by sufficient field capacity, scheduling and escalation arrangements. The evaluation also shows that mobilisation is a significant differentiator: suppliers should be able to explain how they would take control of the service, organise resources and maintain continuity. A clear, convincing risk assessment and method statement is also necessary, covering service delivery risks and controls. The competition attracted three bidders and two SMEs reached the final stage, indicating that smaller specialist CCTV maintenance businesses can compete when they can demonstrate the required operational coverage and delivery approach.
