Summary of the contracting process

Inverclyde Council procured a secure electronic access control solution for its council premises in Inverclyde. The requirement covers the supply, installation and ongoing support of the system, making this a combined security technology, installation and maintenance service rather than a standalone equipment purchase. The work is classified under CPV 79710000, covering security services. The buying organisation is Inverclyde Council, a local authority and central purchasing body. Delivery is across Inverclyde, with the council’s premises forming the operational setting for the access control system. Suppliers relevant to this requirement would typically provide electronic security equipment, integrate and install access control systems, and support them after installation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure as a call-off under the CCS RM6257 framework. It comprised one completed lot covering supply, installation and ongoing support of the secure electronic access control solution. Pointer Limited was selected as supplier. The contract is active and was signed on 20 April 2026, with a value of £97,060. One bid was received, submitted electronically by an SME. The award outcome therefore reflects a single-supplier competition for the full requirement. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Inverclyde Council is the buyer, and Greenock Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court is identified as the review body.

This award is useful market evidence for security technology businesses that can deliver an end-to-end electronic access control service for public-sector premises. A credible competitor would need to combine suitable access control products with practical installation capability and dependable ongoing support, rather than offering equipment alone. The requirement was delivered as a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar work should understand how to compete through relevant public-sector framework routes and manage the associated call-off process. The award was won by Pointer Limited, identified as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business. Experience supporting council premises and maintaining secure systems would strengthen a future supplier’s position.
