Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured communal entrance security works at Rockingham Road and Greenhill Rise in Corby. The requirement is to replace front and rear communal entrance doors and their door-entry systems, using new Bamford Doors and a CAM KMS system. The purpose is to make the blocks more secure for tenants in response to anti-social behaviour, while maintaining continuity across the council’s housing stock and compatibility with the existing door-entry system. The procurement is classified as construction work. The named buyer is North Northamptonshire Council, based at The Corby Cube in Corby. The wider delivery area covers England, although the identified housing blocks are in Corby. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award under a closed framework agreement, with urgency recorded as the rationale classification. F Bamford Engineering was selected for the single lot. The award value is £104,375 excluding VAT, or £125,250 including VAT. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 26 February 2027, with a maximum extension date of 31 March 2027. Renewal is allowed because of adverse weather conditions. A future contract signature milestone was scheduled for 24 August 2026. The award status is recorded as pending, while the tender itself is complete. Evaluation details are not set out beyond the direct-award rationale: previous use of Bamford Engineering and the need for continuity with existing communal doors and entry systems.

This procurement shows demand for integrated communal door replacement and access-control work within council housing, where physical security, tenant safety and compatibility with an existing estate-wide system are central. A credible competitor for comparable requirements would need to supply and install communal entrance doors, provide compatible door-entry equipment, and demonstrate that its systems can integrate with established housing-stock infrastructure. Experience delivering secure communal entrances for public-sector or social-housing landlords would help, particularly where anti-social behaviour and tenant protection are drivers. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that businesses of this scale can undertake the requirement. Suppliers should also be able to manage planned works across occupied housing blocks, coordinate installation safely, and maintain continuity of service while doors and entry systems are replaced.
