Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council procured a target-hardening service to improve the immediate and ongoing safety of victims-survivors of domestic abuse. The service supports the council’s Sanctuary Scheme through proportionate security enhancements in homes or other relevant settings. The requirement combines community and social support with the supply, installation, repair and maintenance of security measures, including locks, door locks, electronic or enhanced-security locks, padlocks, security fittings and related equipment. It is a service-led requirement with associated goods. Delivery is associated with North East Lincolnshire, with the council based in Grimsby. Businesses suited to this requirement are security specialists able to provide practical domestic security improvements alongside a responsive service for people affected by domestic abuse.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition under the light-touch regime. It had one lot. Three bids were recorded, and North East Lincolnshire Borough Council awarded the contract to 24/7 Locks Secure Horizon Ltd on 28 July 2026. The awarded value is £65,500 excluding VAT and £78,600 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. The lot was evaluated on quality and price, weighted 70% and 30% respectively. The tender’s submission deadline was 30 June 2026, and the enquiry deadline was 25 June 2026. Electronic submission was allowed. The award is active and the tender is complete.

This award provides a clear example of the council’s demand for targeted domestic security work linked to its domestic-abuse and Sanctuary Scheme services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in assessing homes and fitting proportionate security measures, including standard, electronic and enhanced-security locks, padlocks and associated fittings. The ability to install, repair and maintain security equipment is relevant, as is the capacity to deliver a reliable service for vulnerable residents rather than only supply products. Suppliers combining locksmith or security-installation capability with an understanding of safeguarding, discretion and responsive work in community settings would be well placed. The requirement also shows that the council accepts SME participation and assesses service quality more heavily than price.
