The requirement covers wireless video GSM/4G door-entry systems and associated access-control equipment, with remote, secure, cloud-based management and immediate system updates. Equipment must be vandal resistant and supplied as an all-in-one solution from the same manufacturer. Manufacturers are required to provide fully pre-programmed, ready-to-use systems, including key fobs configured to the council’s instructions. The service category is software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000), although the work includes physical installation, maintenance, parts, replacements and call-outs. The procurement was run by Leicester City Council using the EEM0037 Door Entry Framework and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. OpenView Security Solutions Limited was selected on 10 September 2026. The awarded value is £333,158.72 including provision for the requirement over the contract term. The tender described an initial award value of £83,158.72, with up to £250,000 additional expenditure for parts, replacements and call-out fees. The awarded contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 10 September 2031. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 3pm. The contract covers the installation and maintenance service described above, with award through the EEM0037 Door Entry Framework. The published procurement data does not set out separate lots or an award scoring breakdown; the process is recorded as complete and the award is active. This award indicates a substantial, multi-year requirement for suppliers able to deliver and maintain sheltered-housing door-entry and access-control systems for Leicester City Council. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in GSM/4G and wireless video door-entry installation, access-control integration and responsive maintenance. The technical offer would need vandal-resistant equipment from one manufacturer, secure cloud-based remote management with immediate updates, and systems supplied fully programmed and ready for use. Experience of configuring and issuing key fobs to detailed client instructions would be relevant. Suppliers would also need to support manufacturer-backed parts cover, manage replacements and respond to call-outs throughout the service. The requirement is structured to accommodate SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so a capable specialist or suitably experienced delivery partnership may be well placed. ## Notice Leicester City Council are using EEM0037 - Door Entry Framework to find a suitable contractor to perform installations of GSM/4G door entry systems at sheltered housing schemes in Leicester City and ongoing maintenance for the life of the contract.
