UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited is procuring locksmith services to replace resident and master key-entry fobs for its housing schemes and properties across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers supply and replacement of access fobs used by residents and for master access, making it relevant to locksmiths, access-control specialists and suppliers able to support housing property portfolios. The work is categorised as locksmith services (CPV 98395000). The buyer is a public undertaking based in London. The requirement concerns services rather than construction works, equipment installation or general security guarding. Businesses would need to understand the operational needs of residential properties and provide replacement access fobs suitable for the buyer’s schemes and properties.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure whose specific method is recorded as unknown. It consisted of one lot. DES Locksmiths Limited was selected, with an award marked active. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its gross value is £142,000. The buyer holds an option for one two-year extension, with the maximum possible contract end date of 31 August 2030. The contract is active and the procurement was below the applicable threshold. The successful supplier is a UK locksmith business based in Canvey Island, serving a requirement delivered across the United Kingdom.

This award demonstrates an established housing provider’s demand for replacement resident and master key-entry fobs across a national property portfolio. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical locksmith capability, experience supplying replacement access fobs, and the operational capacity to support multiple housing schemes and properties across the United Kingdom. The work suits an SME or specialist access-control supplier able to manage recurring orders, maintain accurate fob and master-access requirements, and provide dependable fulfilment for residential properties. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate a clear understanding of resident access, master access and the service coordination needed by a large housing organisation, rather than offering only occasional domestic locksmith call-outs.
