## Summary

Coventry University Group procured Salto access control equipment, software support and reactive maintenance. The requirement combines supply of access-control hardware with support for its software and call-out repairs to electrical building installations. Coventry University is the buyer, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The work is classified as services, with the maintenance element covering electrical building installations. The requirement serves the university group’s access-control operations; it is a single package rather than separate lots. The selected supplier is Custom Technology Solutions Ltd.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Custom Technology Solutions Ltd. Coventry University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2028, with an option to extend for up to one further year. Its estimated value is £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT); actual spend depends on the services required and delivered. The contract covers one year initially, with an option for one additional year. The published data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers looking to compete when Coventry University Group next needs this requirement, the award signals demand for a combined Salto access-control offer: equipment supply, software support and reactive maintenance of electrical building installations. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate practical capability across all three elements, including familiarity with Salto systems and the ability to respond to repair needs as they arise. The scope sits with one provider across the university group, so suppliers should be able to support a group-wide requirement rather than a single isolated installation. The direct, non-competitive route used for this below-threshold award is relevant context for understanding how this particular purchase was placed; no specific technical accreditations, capacity levels or experience thresholds are stated.
