## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured an external-gate access control system, classified as an access control system (CPV 42961100). The requirement concerns goods used to control access through external gates across the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UK Research and Innovation as the procuring entity. The requirement was organised as a single lot and forms part of the buyer’s site-security and access-management needs. Businesses operating in electronic security, gate access control and related equipment supply would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to provide systems for external perimeter gates in a public-sector research and innovation environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Acctive Systems Limited was selected for the single lot, with the award made on 11 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 11 September to 28 December 2026. Its value is £14,019.28 excluding VAT, or £16,823.14 including VAT. The published description identifies the procurement as a contract details notice rather than a call for competition. The available record establishes the limited-competition route and the access-control requirement; it does not set out separate technical, quality or price weightings for the evaluation. The award remains active and the contract is active.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for external-gate access control equipment delivered through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need a proven capability in electronic access-control systems for external gates, with products suitable for public-sector sites and the capacity to fulfil a single, defined requirement within a short contract period. Relevant businesses are likely to include specialist security-system manufacturers, distributors and integrators with experience supplying dependable perimeter-access equipment. Evidence of comparable access-control work, reliable delivery arrangements and the operational capacity to support UK-wide delivery would strengthen a future response to this buyer.
