This project aims to update the door entry systems for key worker accommodation at NHS Trust sites in Lincolnshire, specifically in Lincoln, Boston, and Grantham. The engagement end date is set for 30th June 2019. The procurement process follows a tender method and falls under the software package and information systems sector, with a focus on electronic security locks and door locks. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in security technology and access management systems. Suppliers who specialise in advanced electronic locking solutions, particularly those offering cloud-based systems with remote access capabilities, would be well-suited to compete. Companies that can demonstrate their capability to provide future-proofed solutions with robust support and implementation services will likely find this opportunity appealing, potentially aiding the growth and expansion of their market presence within the public sector. ## Notice Introduction Progress Housing Group are a Housing Association, managing 11,000 homes across the UK delivering housing related services for over 20 years. Part of the portfolio is providing key worker accommodation for the NHS Trust in Lincolnshire, across sites in Lincoln, Boston and Grantham. We have around 570 units of accommodation at these three hospitals, we are looking to update the door entry system in these accommodation units. There are approximately 690 internal locks and about 36 external locks over four separate sites. Current Process The accommodation units currently have a keycard system, hardwired locks on all external doors and battery operated locks on the internal doors. The keycards are programmed on site and work on an electromagnetic system. The system works from an application which has the data for all locks and all key paths. This system is programmed with a tenants name and room and start and end date of stay and then a keycard is coded, the keycard can only be updated if it is physically inserted in a coding machine. Current Problems The current system was installed 12 years ago and the hardware is increasingly failing, therefore the cost of replacing hardware is increasing year on year. The system is reaching the end of its life in terms of support and it is envisaged there are better solutions available that can improve the end user experience and potentially save time and staff costs. Ideal Solution We are searching for a supplier who can provide a lock system for the accommodation which; Must haves * Be future proofed, solution must have a clear road map for development * Can be programmed to allow access to specific areas * Is time and date sensitive * Able to provide reports on access to areas/rooms by time, date and area * Backs up to a cloud based solution * Remote assistance available from the supplier in the event of issues or queries * System updates and servicing provided as part of the package * Override keys available for all locks Would like to have * System accessed and "keys" can be updated remotely * Does not rely on a card being inserted into a lock, i.e. phone app or fob * Notification (automatic) of issues such as low battery * Automatic updates for locks for issues such as daylight saving * Ability to be integrated into a smart phone app or QR code ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/990660a2-cee5-4d17-9752-cf82da96c530 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Jun 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PROGRESS HOUSING GROUP | | Locality | LEYLAND | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR25 2LW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | South Ribble | | Electoral ward | Leyland Central | | Westminster constituency | South Ribble | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 44521110 - Door locks - 44521120 - Electronic security lock - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 29 May 2019 at 14:39 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/990660a2-cee5-4d17-9752-cf82da96c530 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/990660a2-cee5-4d17-9752-cf82da96c530 29th May 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=622144eb-1d82-e911-80f7-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.progressgroup.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
