Summary of the contracting process

Gosport Borough Council procured the migration of its existing PAC access control system to a cloud-based service. The requirement is for computer control system goods and related work to move the council’s current access-control setup into the cloud; the process does not describe further technical scope or system specifications. The buying organisation is Gosport Borough Council, and the delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom. This is a focused technology requirement for suppliers able to work with access-control systems and deliver a cloud migration for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Gosport Borough Council selected VENTRO LTD. The contract was signed on 13 September 2026 and runs from 27 September to 27 December 2026, with an optional three-month extension. The contract value is £86,505.08 excluding VAT (£103,806.10 including VAT). It was a below-threshold procurement, with the specific method described as unknown. The requirement was arranged as one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. No award evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows demand from Gosport Borough Council for moving an existing access-control system to cloud hosting. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need practical capability in access-control systems, cloud migration and integration with an incumbent system, alongside the capacity to deliver a defined project for a local authority. VENTRO LTD, a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected, indicating that a supplier of that scale can deliver this type of requirement. Suppliers with relevant implementation experience and a clear approach to maintaining the operation of access control during migration would be well placed to compete when the council next buys this specific service. The procurement route was below threshold, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a proportionate process rather than assume a large, multi-lot exercise.
