## Summary

Crawley Borough Council has awarded a contract for the expansion of the access control system across the borough, initially installed at the Town Hall. The direct award went to Gallagher Security Europe Limited, a supplier with existing infrastructure compatibility. This procurement, classified under the goods category for access control systems, emphasises the council's commitment to seamless integration with existing provisions and mitigating technical difficulties. Geographically, the project is located within Crawley, UK (region UKJ28). The procurement stage is completetion, with a notable future signature date scheduled for 1 April 2026, preceding the contract period starting 1 May 2026 and ending 30 April 2027.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs, due to the large size and scope of the project, valued at £240,000 gross (£200,000 net). Businesses involved in security systems, particularly those with expertise in access control technology, would benefit from aligning with such expansions, focusing on innovation and technological advancements. The direct award underscores the significance of maintaining compatibility, presenting unique collaboration opportunities with Crawley Borough Council for future security initiatives, offering a competitive edge within the public sector market.

## Notice

The Council are seeking to expand the existing access control system that is in situ in the Town Hall to the rest of the Borough to allow central control of security and access throughout the facilities in the borough. A direct award will be made to the incumbent supplier to ensure compatibility between the new and existing technology. This will mitigate any disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.

### Procurement Information

The Create Building is already fitted with a Gallagher access control system, including the core server infrastructure and management software. This system is operational and provides the central platform for access control management. The proposal is to extend this existing system across the wider community estate using the same manufacturer, technology, and operating environment. Introducing an alternative access control system or supplier would result in goods and services that are incompatible with the existing provision. This would either require the operation of parallel systems across the estate or the replacement of the existing system at the Create Building. Both options would introduce disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance, including increased system complexity, duplicated infrastructure, additional training requirements, higher support and maintenance costs, and increased operational risk.
