Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council has procured a fully managed service to install, inspect, service, repair and maintain doors, door-entry systems and assisted-living equipment across its housing stock in Central Bedfordshire. The work covers both planned and responsive maintenance, including associated installation and repair activity. Its purpose is to support the safety, security and accessibility of council homes while meeting statutory and regulatory requirements. The requirement combines building access systems with electrical equipment and assisted-living installations, rather than being limited to supplying products. The council expects the service to be managed efficiently and to deliver value for money, quality work and right-first-time performance.

The procurement is complete: Central Bedfordshire Council awarded the single-lot contract to OpenView Security on 7 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 30 September 2026. The contract value is £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with an optional extension that could take it to 30 September 2028. The council used an open procedure. Bids were assessed on methodology (50%), price (40%) and social value (10%). Eight bids were received, with six reaching the final stage; all six final-stage bids were from SMEs. The original submission deadline was 6 July 2026.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Central Bedfordshire Council, this award shows demand for a single, integrated service spanning door installation and repair, door-entry systems and assisted-living equipment across council housing. A credible competitor would need to coordinate planned programmes with responsive repairs, provide inspection, servicing and installation capability, and demonstrate compliance with relevant statutory and regulatory requirements. The council’s emphasis on safe, secure and accessible homes makes reliable delivery and strong quality controls central to the requirement; right-first-time performance and efficient service management are explicit priorities. Methodology carried more evaluation weight than price, with social value also assessed, so a supplier would need a convincing delivery approach alongside competitive pricing and demonstrable social value. Six SMEs reached the final stage, showing that SME suppliers competed at that stage.
