Summary of the contracting process

NHS Highland procured entry access-control works for the MAHICC building in Inverness. The requirement covered installation of six fob-operated entry door systems serving a ward, the A&E area, a meeting-room corridor, two atrium doors and the corridor beside the GP practice. It also included purchasing the cards and equipment needed to operate the systems. This is a building security and electronic access-control requirement, classified under CPV 42961100. The work was associated with a healthcare building and was delivered in Inverness. The single lot covered the complete entry-door system requirement, combining installation with the supply of operating cards and associated equipment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NHS Highland used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, citing technical reasons and an existing estates-works arrangement in the PFI building. FES Group was awarded the single lot, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 9 January 2025 and is active. Its value is £65,462.44. The award covered the full requirement for six fob entry-door systems and their operating equipment. The recorded rationale was that FES Group held the contract to supply all estates works within the building and provided a quotation for the requested work. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For suppliers assessing future NHS Highland access-control requirements, this procurement shows demand for complete, installed systems rather than equipment supply alone. Relevant capability includes specifying and fitting fob-operated door-entry systems, integrating readers and control equipment, and supplying the cards and related items needed for operation. Experience of working safely in healthcare environments would help, particularly around wards, A&E areas, patient-facing corridors and shared clinical buildings. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate estates-works delivery and the ability to work within an existing building and access-control environment. The buyer selected an established building-services provider through a technical, non-competitive route, so credible competitors would need a strong record of compatible installations, reliable support and the capacity to deliver a multi-location building upgrade as one package.
