This procurement falls under the security fittings industry category, specifically in the West Midlands, England. Currently in the tender stage, the submission deadline is set for 2nd July 2021. The estimated value of the contract is £100,000, with the procurement method specified as an open procedure below the threshold, which allows any interested supplier to submit a proposal. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in security solutions and lock systems. Companies with expertise in master key systems, particularly those familiar with the CES system, will find this an advantageous chance to expand their clientele within the healthcare sector. Interested businesses should ensure they complete the registration process on the eSourcing portal to express their interest and participate in the tendering process. ## Notice Heartlands Hospital Estates Department currently use an ASSA master key system which has now ran out of patent and is no longer supported. After much research and cost comparisons the department has chosen the "CES" master key system as a replacement due to its compatibility, lifetime patent and extendibility. The trust intends to migrate to the new system with a gradual approach starting with High Risk/hazard rooms in year 1 and wards, departments and common areas to follow. Although we are aware of how many key suites and differs we have on site, we are unsure of actual cylinder numbers and width of cylinders so some surveying may be required.
