## Summary

The buying organization ONWARD GROUP LIMITED has initiated a tender titled "Soft Market Test - Communal Door Entry Systems" in the Access control system industry category. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage with an engagement end date set for January 13, 2023. The tender aims to standardize and replace existing door entry systems across assets in Lancashire, Greater Manchester, and Merseyside. The main contact for this tender is Lewis Sinkala, who can be reached at lewis.sinkala@onward.co.uk or +447811419277.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses, especially SMEs, in the North West region of the United Kingdom. Companies involved in access control systems and door installations would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. By participating in this tender, businesses can contribute to the standardization and modernization of door entry systems in the specified regions, aligning with the digital strategy of Onward to future-proof assets and improve security measures.

## Notice

Spread across three main regions, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, and Merseyside, are assets which benefit from a main/secondary entrance door entry system. Each region previously had responsibility for undertaking installations independently. This has led to several systems used across the assets and no standard system used. In order to standardise and meet the aspirations of Onward's Digital Strategy, Onward is undertaking the supply and replacement of existing door entry systems, including where necessary the automation of new door sets will future proof Onward assets. For further information, please refer to the market research and expression of interest document and return to the main contact on this notice.
