UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Library Board procured security key-management equipment: relocation of an existing Traka cabinet from the British Library Collections Centre and supply of an additional cabinet to expand the existing system. The Traka key-management system is integrated with the Library’s Genetec security system. This is a goods requirement for surveillance and security systems and devices (CPV 35120000). The buyer is the British Library Board, and the equipment is for use in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions UK Limited. The British Library used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The single lot was completed. The contract was signed and began on 23 September 2026, with a stated period ending that day. Its value is £14,569.20 excluding VAT and £17,483.04 including VAT. The award is recorded as active. The supplied information does not describe an evaluation basis beyond the direct-award route.

This award shows demand at the British Library for expanding and maintaining its existing Traka key-management installation, integrated with Genetec security. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply compatible key-management cabinets and support integration with the buyer’s established security system. The work is focused on extending an installed system, including relocating an existing cabinet as well as adding equipment, so relevant experience in cabinet moves, system continuity and integration would be commercially pertinent. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so it demonstrates the buyer’s chosen route for this requirement rather than a competitive evaluation or published technical qualification standard.
