The procurement process, led by River Clyde Homes, sought contractors for "Key Holding Services" specifically for properties within Inverclyde. This open tender process was initiated on 27 January 2022, with a submission deadline on 7 February 2022. River Clyde Homes, a public body focused on providing affordable housing amenities, operates from Clyde View, 22 Pottery Street, Greenock, UK. The contract, now awarded, is valued at £120,000 and is primarily classified under services for housing and community amenities.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those providing security and facility management services, to engage in long-term contracts with public sector organisations. Companies that specialise in 24/7 alarm response and key holding services, especially those that are already familiar with compliance requisites like insurance and staff training, would be well-placed to compete.
