Summary of the contracting process

The University of Gloucestershire procured services for the planned and reactive maintenance of its access control and CCTV systems. The requirement covers security equipment servicing and repairs, supporting the university’s site security and controlled access arrangements. The work is associated with the university in Cheltenham and delivery across the South West of England. It is a public-sector facilities and security systems maintenance requirement rather than the supply of new equipment or construction works. Businesses specialising in electronic security systems, CCTV maintenance, access control servicing, fault response and related technical support would find the subject matter relevant. The buyer is the University of Gloucestershire, a public authority based in Cheltenham, and the requirement was handled as a single package.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a direct award below the applicable threshold and was made without competition. The requirement was divided into one lot. G4S Limited was awarded the contract on 31 July 2026. The award value is £107,843.19 excluding VAT, or £129,411.83 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active, and a contract signature milestone was scheduled for 1 September 2026. The award covers the service and reactive maintenance of access control and CCTV systems. The recorded procurement route was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the published process does not show a competitive evaluation between bidding suppliers.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from the University of Gloucestershire for specialist maintenance of access control and CCTV systems. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in electronic security equipment, planned servicing, fault diagnosis, repairs and rapid reactive response. It would also need the operational capacity to support a university environment, where access systems and surveillance equipment are likely to be important to day-to-day site security. G4S Limited’s selection shows that an established security services provider was considered suitable for the requirement. Suppliers with a demonstrable record of maintaining comparable integrated systems, dependable field engineering coverage and the ability to manage ongoing service support would be best placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
