UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited procured locksmith services and related goods under a materials supply requirement. The work covers the supply of locks, keys and hinges, together with locksmithing support. Delivery spans England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is a public undertaking based in London. The requirement is relevant to locksmith businesses, security hardware suppliers and firms able to combine product supply with responsive locksmith services across a broad geographic area. It may also suit businesses with established distribution arrangements covering multiple English regions and the operational capacity to support a housing-related buyer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. It had one completed lot. Croma Locksmiths & Security Solutions Limited was awarded the requirement, with an active contract signed on 11 June 2026. The contract runs from 12 June 2026 to 7 June 2027 and has a gross value of £50,000. The purchase was categorised as goods, although the scope also includes locksmith services. The requirement covered England-wide delivery across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender because the buyer used a below-threshold direct award.

This award indicates recurring demand from The Guinness Partnership for combined locksmith support and security hardware, rather than for locks and related products alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical locksmith capability, access to a reliable range of locks, keys and hinges, and the capacity to supply and respond across England. The incumbent is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Businesses should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable fulfilment, broad geographic coverage, suitable stock or procurement arrangements, and experience supporting property portfolios or housing providers. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so understanding the buyer’s purchasing approach would also be commercially relevant.
