Summary of the contracting process

North East Scotland College commissioned replacement of its CCTV infrastructure across its estate in Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire. The works cover removal of existing CCTV equipment and installation and commissioning of a new multi-site IP and Power over Ethernet (PoE) networked system. The requirement includes associated cabling, electrical works and integration with existing estate systems. The primary classification is CCTV security systems (CPV 45312200). This is a works requirement rather than a standalone supply or monitoring service: the main focus is delivering a functioning new surveillance infrastructure across multiple college sites. It may suit fire and security contractors, CCTV installation specialists, electrical contractors and systems integrators able to work across the North East Scotland College estate and connect new equipment with existing systems.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a single lot using an open procedure. The tender’s estimated value was £125,000, while the active contract signed with the successful supplier is valued at £59,960. Scutum Fire & Security Limited was awarded the contract on 24 August 2026. The planned contract period is 120 days. Bids had to be submitted electronically in English, with a submission deadline of 6 July 2026 at 12:00; electronic bid opening was scheduled for 12:30 the same day. Bids were required to remain valid for 90 days, and variants were not allowed. Selection was based on suitability criteria set out in the procurement documents. Three bids were received, all from SMEs.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting future CCTV infrastructure work with North East Scotland College. A credible competitor would need to remove and replace legacy CCTV, install and commission IP and PoE equipment across multiple sites, deliver associated cabling and electrical works, and integrate the new system with an existing estate. The requirement therefore favours firms combining security-system installation with network, electrical and systems-integration capability, rather than suppliers offering cameras alone or monitoring services. The successful supplier was an SME, and all three bidders were SMEs, indicating that businesses of this scale were able to compete for the requirement. Experience delivering coordinated multi-site installations and managing a complete replacement project would strengthen a future bid, alongside evidence of technical suitability and reliable delivery.
