Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council procured the renewal and upgrade of entrance doors and door entry systems at The Grove, Swanscombe, DA10 0AD. The work is intended to improve security for tenanted residential blocks while providing security systems that can be maintained. It falls within the goods category and covers surveillance and security systems and devices. The delivery location is in the Dartford area of Kent. This requirement is relevant to suppliers of entrance doors, access-control equipment, door-entry systems, electronic security products and associated installation or upgrade services. It may also suit businesses able to combine physical security improvements with maintainable electronic systems for occupied housing or similar managed residential premises.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to CERTUS SECURITY LLP, an SME. The award was made on 6 July 2026 for £19,500 excluding VAT, or £23,400 including VAT. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 October 2026; the award record gives a related delivery period from 1 October 2026 to 25 October 2026. Four bids were received, with two reaching the final stage, both from SMEs. Evaluation details are not published in the process data. The contract is active and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates a defined local authority requirement for upgrading entrance doors and door-entry systems in tenanted residential blocks, combining physical access security with maintainable security technology. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in supplying and installing entrance doors, door-entry equipment and related surveillance or access-control systems, with the ability to complete a concentrated upgrade programme in occupied housing. Experience of working safely in residential blocks and coordinating with tenants or housing management would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would reliable maintenance arrangements and clear evidence that installed systems can be supported after handover. The competition attracted four bids and two final-stage bidders, including two SMEs, indicating that the requirement was accessible to smaller specialist security businesses.
