UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured the design, supply and installation of an ADACS system: a software platform integrating intruder detection, access control, CCTV monitoring and digital video recording. The requirement is an electrical security-system upgrade, combining equipment installation with the deployment of an integrated monitoring and recording platform. The procurement was for one lot. The delivery location is identified only as the United Kingdom, with no more specific place stated. UKRI is the buying organisation. The work falls within electrical and mechanical equipment installation services (CPV 51100000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to CHUBB FIRE & SECURITY LIMITED. UKRI used a direct award, stating that the technical design meant only this supplier could meet its requirements. The award is valued at £154,715.54 excluding VAT (£185,662.25 including VAT). The award date was 22 October 2026. The contract period runs from 27 October to 12 December 2026, with signature scheduled for 26 October 2026. The process comprised one lot. The stated basis for selecting the supplier was the technical design and the resulting single-supplier requirement; no separate scored evaluation criteria are described.

This award shows that UKRI buys integrated security-system upgrades combining intrusion detection, access control, CCTV monitoring and digital video recording, alongside the design, supply and installation needed to put them into operation. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the technical ability to design and deliver an ADACS solution that integrates these functions and meets UKRI’s specified system design. The direct award rationale indicates that technical compatibility or design requirements can be decisive: a credible competitor would need evidence that its proposed platform can satisfy those requirements, not simply provide standalone security equipment or installation. The work also calls for capability across software and electrical-system installation, delivered as a single coordinated requirement. Chubb Fire & Security was selected for this procurement.
