## Summary

Ipswich Borough Council is seeking servicing, maintenance and upgrade work for mechanical and electronic door-entry systems in its sheltered housing schemes, homeless family units and general-needs flats. The work covers residential properties in Ipswich. The requirement is a building-services maintenance contract, covering electrical and mechanical installations.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The contract is for one lot, with an estimated value of £190,000 excluding VAT (£228,000 including VAT). The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028. The deadline for questions was 28 October 2026 at 14:00; bids were due by 9 November 2026 at 11:00. The council planned to complete its award decision by 30 November 2026. Evaluation is weighted 60% on price and 40% on quality.

This opportunity is suited to contractors able to service, maintain and upgrade mechanical and electronic door-entry systems in residential buildings. Suppliers will need the capability to work across sheltered housing, temporary accommodation for homeless families and general-needs flats, serving the council’s varied housing stock. The mix of servicing and maintenance with upgrade works favours firms able to support both ongoing system upkeep and improvement work. Price is the larger element of evaluation, while quality also carries substantial weight, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate a credible service approach alongside competitive pricing.
