The requirement covers the supply, installation, maintenance and repair of door opening and door release systems, including video and audio door entry systems. The purpose is to meet assessed user needs and support the Council’s duty of care. Needs will be identified by occupational therapists within the Council’s Adult and Health Services. The work will be delivered in the Durham area. This is a public-sector service contract covering both initial equipment provision and ongoing technical support, so it is relevant to businesses operating across access control, door entry, electronic security and associated property maintenance services. The procurement has reached tender: Durham County Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It has one lot. Enquiries were due by 18 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 25 September 2026 at 10:00. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2030, with an option to extend by two further 12-month periods, giving a maximum end date of 31 October 2032. The estimated value is £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. The tender will be evaluated on quality and price, weighted 60% and 40% respectively. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This opportunity suits a specialist door entry or electronic access-control contractor able to supply, install, maintain and repair systems in occupied residential and domestic settings. Relevant capability includes door opening and release equipment, together with video and audio entry systems, and the ability to respond to assessed needs for individual Adult and Health Services users. Suppliers should be prepared to provide continuing maintenance and repair support alongside installation, rather than a one-off equipment supply. The requirement may suit small and medium-sized businesses, including firms with established local engineering, installation and responsive maintenance teams. Businesses with practical experience of adapting or supporting access systems in homes, coordinating with occupational-therapy-led requirements and managing varied service-user needs are likely to be well placed to compete. ## Notice This Contract is for the Supply, Installation, Maintenance and Repair of Door Entry Systems (which can include, but not limited to, Door Opening/Door Release Systems, Video and Audio Door Entry Systems) in residential and domestic properties for relevant Service Users for Adult & Health Services. This Contract will enable Durham County Council to fulfil its duty of care to ensure that all assessed needs for door entry systems are met throughout the period of the contractual arrangement. The assessed needs will be identified by an Occupational Therapist (OT) for the Council's Adult & Health Services. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Option to extend a further 2 x 12 months from the contract end date. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/082074-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 25 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2026 - 31 Oct 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | £150,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Durham County Council | | Locality | DURHAM | | Postcode area | Durham | | Postcode | DH1 5WB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC41 Durham | | Local authority | County Durham | | Electoral ward | Framwellgate & Newton Hall | | Westminster constituency | City of Durham | | Delivery location | TLC14 Durham | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 72222300 - Information technology services - 79993000 - Building and facilities management services ## Release History - 28 Aug 2026 at 10:33 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/082074-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/082074-2026 28th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.durham.gov.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
