Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Communities & Housing Investment Consortium Ltd (CHIC) procured building and facilities management services through its Total Facilities Management Dynamic Purchasing System. The awarded requirement was for CCTV and door-entry systems for Solihull Community Housing Limited, covering security and access-control infrastructure for its housing operations. The work sits within CHIC’s wider housing and community amenities remit and was managed by CHIC as the buying organisation. The requirement is a specialist building-services opportunity rather than a general supply contract: relevant businesses would typically provide, install, maintain or support CCTV and door-entry equipment, with the ability to deliver integrated security and resident-access solutions. The procurement was run under a system intended to cover facilities-management requirements, with this award reported for the April to June 2026 quarterly period.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is recorded as complete. It used a selective procurement method through a restricted procedure. Two bids were received, including one from an SME, and both were submitted electronically. The award reported for the April–June 2026 quarter went to Openview Security Solutions Limited for £3,500,000. The associated contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and is active. Tenders under the relevant DPS category were typically assessed on 40% quality and social value and 60% cost, although the precise criteria could be set for the individual competition. The DPS has an initial 60-month term, running until February 2029, and may be reviewed, extended or terminated during that period. The quarterly value is indicative rather than a forecast of further available work.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from CHIC and its housing-sector customers for CCTV and door-entry system work at significant scale. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in electronic security, access control and building-services delivery, together with the capacity to manage a sizeable housing-related requirement. The evaluation balance shows that price matters most, but quality and social value remain material, so suppliers would need a deliverable technical approach and evidence of wider community benefit rather than competing on cost alone. The two-bid outcome, including one SME bidder, indicates that smaller firms can participate where they can demonstrate sufficient capability and capacity, either independently or through a suitable delivery partnership. Experience of working for housing providers and managing installations or maintenance across multiple properties would strengthen a comparable proposition.
