## Summary

Dartford Borough Council procured borough-wide servicing, maintenance and repair of door-entry systems in domestic council properties. The work covers routine minor repairs, replacement or renewal of components such as entry panels and handsets, and call-out repairs, alongside planned maintenance and both normal- and immediate-response repair work. Priority-coded ad-hoc repair orders and other associated sundry works are also included. The work is electrical and mechanical building installation maintenance. The intended properties are those listed in the procurement documents; the recorded delivery area is Kent. This is a single borough-wide requirement for maintaining and repairing existing systems, rather than a purchase of door-entry equipment alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CERTUS SECURITY LLP. Dartford Borough Council used a below-threshold limited competition; four bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. The single lot was awarded on 21 October 2026 for £45,000 excluding VAT (£54,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 31 May 2028. The published procurement information identifies the service requirement but does not set out evaluation criteria, eligibility conditions or a detailed basis for selecting the supplier. The award is active; a planned signature milestone was set for 28 October 2026.

This award shows demand from Dartford Borough Council for a supplier able to maintain and repair door-entry systems across domestic council properties, including responsive call-outs as well as planned maintenance. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capacity to cover a borough-wide property portfolio, handle routine repairs and component renewals, and respond to both normal and immediate-priority faults. Experience coordinating priority-coded ad-hoc repair orders and associated sundry works would also be relevant. Four SMEs submitted bids in this competition, and the selected supplier was itself an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist contractor competed successfully for this scale of work. The requirement is focused on continuing service and repair capability for installed systems, not simply supply of new equipment.
