To award the Replacement Community Alarm/Door
Entry System Contract for the Leaseholder flats at Courtfields Sheltered Housing Scheme, Elm Grove, Lancing to Abmec Ltd t/a ABBA Mechatronics, following a
procurement exercise, in the sum of £72,356.68 plus
VAT.  
 

Reasons for the decision

The works will replace the end of life Community Alarm System installed within
the flats and the current dispersed alarm units that are working in
place of the old systems. The new system will enhance the security
of the communal entrance to each block by having a new door entry
system installed. The new system will also provide each flat with
new smoke and heat detection. In addition to this, the tenanted
side of Courtfields already has the new
system installed and so by installing the same on the Leasehold
side will mean the new system can be serviced and maintained easily
with an economy of scale benefit. A significant % of the cost will
be collected through the leasehold sinking fund for the scheme
which mitigates the costs for individual leaseholders

Alternative options considered

Alternative options have been previously
considered, however the option to install the same/matching system
as that installed to the tenanted side of Courtfields is the most suitable solution.
