UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Reading Borough Council is procuring planned preventative maintenance for its security and access infrastructure in Reading. The service covers CCTV and security cameras, barriers, automated gates, automated doors, access-control systems and roller shutters, including the associated repair and maintenance activity. This is a services contract for the council’s estate rather than a supply-only requirement. Suppliers would be responsible for maintaining a range of integrated physical security and controlled-entry systems, with the detailed technical requirements set out in the tender pack. The opportunity is therefore relevant to security systems maintenance contractors able to work across CCTV, access control, powered gates and doors, barriers and roller shutters.

The procurement has reached tender: Reading Borough Council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 11 August 2026 at 17:00, and tender submissions were due by 21 August 2026 at 17:00. The council expected to complete the award process by 21 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. Its estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT and £720,000 including VAT. The single lot is evaluated on 60% price and 40% quality. The lot value is also published as AED 600,000 excluding VAT and AED 720,000 including VAT. The requirement is recurring, with a further procurement anticipated from 1 April 2031.

This opportunity suits established security engineering and facilities-maintenance businesses with the technical breadth to service CCTV, access-control equipment, barriers, automated gates, automated doors and roller shutters. Contractors should be able to plan and deliver preventative maintenance across multiple system types, diagnose faults and carry out associated repairs. Experience managing integrated security installations across a council or similarly varied estate would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to provide reliable planned maintenance throughout a five-year contract. The 60% quality weighting means suppliers will need to demonstrate a credible service-delivery approach, not only competitive pricing. Businesses specialising in just one equipment type may be less well placed unless they can provide the wider capability through their own teams or delivery arrangements.
