## Summary

Coventry University, a sub-central public authority located in Coventry, UK, has engaged in a public procurement process titled "Access Control Servicing". This process falls under the goods category, specifically targeting the access control system industry. The project's duration is from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2026, with a contract value of £56,088.29 gross. The procurement has reached the award stage with G4S Secure Solutions (UK) Ltd being named the supplier. Although initially non-competitive due to equipment and software constraints that prevented third-party involvement, the contract remains open for potential future participation as equipment transitions to in-house control.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialised in access control technologies and servicing. As Coventry University transitions its equipment management in-house, businesses offering innovative solutions compatible with the university's new systems could gain future prospects. While G4S Secure Solutions currently holds an exclusive position due to proprietary system constraints, the gradual phasing out of services offers growth opportunities for firms with expertise in open-protocol systems and the ability to provide competitive services aligned with the university's objectives.

## Notice

The service will be extended for one more year while we carry out a project to estimate costs and secure a budget for replacing the existing G4S hardware with Salto equipment. This change will enable us to manage the service in-house. The transition will be implemented gradually, which means the external service will either be phased out or significantly reduced next year. As a result, and in alignment with discussions held with Procurement, we will not proceed to tender at this stage. During the process of obtaining quotes for cost comparison, it became evident that no alternative supplier could support the current system. The hardware is owned and operated by the existing supplier, and the software operates on a closed protocol, making it inaccessible to third-party vendors. Building's have been removed form this service due to handover.
