## Summary

Cambridge City Council has concluded a procurement process titled "Suited Locks" under the industry category of locksmith services. The procurement aimed to standardise locks across council blocks using a suited system, enhancing operational efficiency by allowing departments to utilise a master key. The procurement stage is complete, and the award was made on 17th November 2025. The contract, valued gross at £96,000, covers the supply of lock barrels and key blanks for communal doors. The contract period is set to commence on 20th November 2025 and end on 31st March 2026, targeting the UKH1 region, specifically Cambridge.

The opportunity, granted through a direct procurement method without competition, presents significant business growth potential for SMEs specialising in locksmith services. Particularly, companies capable of supplying quality lock systems and related materials would find lucrative prospects. Although the contract has been awarded to Cambridge Master Locksmiths, interested businesses can gain insights into similar opportunities in the sector and prepare to collaborate with public authorities like Cambridge City Council for future projects. This settles well with enterprises seeking to bolster their portfolio with public sector contracts.

## Notice

This suited system will standardize locks across the blocks, allowing council departments to use a master key and eliminating the need to produce multiple keys for each team. It will also help maintain standardization in the future if any unauthorized lock changes occur. We are procuring lock barrels and key blanks for the communal doors
