Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire sought a single provider to maintain security gates and access gates, including associated gate installation services. The work is categorised as services and covers sites across England. The requirement concerns ongoing maintenance of security access infrastructure rather than the supply of standalone gates. It is relevant to contractors able to inspect, maintain, repair and, where required, install security gates across a geographically wide estate. The commissioning organisation is based in Leicester. The tender included site visits arranged for 28 July and 30 July 2026, with the Instructions to Bidders setting out the arrangements. The requirement was presented as one service package rather than separate geographical or technical lots.

The buyer invited offers through an above-threshold open procedure. Enquiries were due by 3 August 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 7 August 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date was 17 August 2026. The procurement was subsequently cancelled on 20 August 2026; no cancellation reason is stated. The estimated value was £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. The contract period was planned from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions allowing a maximum end date of 20 September 2031. Price carried 60% of the evaluation weighting and quality 40%. Electronic submission was allowed in English.

This opportunity suited small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, provided they could deliver security gate maintenance as a single-provider service across sites in England. The strongest fit would be a contractor with practical capability in maintaining access gates and related security gate systems, diagnosing faults, carrying out repairs and undertaking gate installation work where required. Businesses would need sufficient operational capacity to coordinate work across a broad geographic area and sustain service delivery over a multi-year contract period, including any extensions. The requirement may also suit firms that combine field engineering, planned maintenance and responsive repair services, or that can manage a dispersed maintenance programme through an experienced delivery team.
