Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by The Pirbright Institute focused on renewing a service level agreement and software licence for the TRAKA key management system at their facility in Woking, United Kingdom. This process falls under the services industry category, with the procurement method being direct, below the threshold, and without competition. The contract was awarded to ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions UK Ltd, with the contract period starting from 1st May 2026 and ending on 30th April 2027. The project aimed to maintain and support 14 TRAKA key cabinets across the site, with a contract value of £26,977, or £32,372.40 inclusive of additional parts and labour if required. The tender process began in July 2026 when the contract details were published, and the status is marked as complete.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in repair and maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in key management systems. Companies with skills in providing technological support and license renewal services will find this type of contract particularly beneficial for business growth and visibility. Given the specific requirements and the direct procurement method employed, organisations with an existing presence in the United Kingdom and experience in handling similar contracts would be well-positioned to compete effectively in such opportunities.
