Description
The University of Edinburgh intends to award a contract to Assa Abloy for the supply of door lock, cylinder, key blank and closing system components required to support and maintain the University’s ASSA master key system across an estate of 650+ buildings. The contract term will be up to 10 years, expiring in line with the current patent. The University operates a restricted key profile within its master key system for which ASSA holds patent and/or registered design protection and exclusive manufacturing/supply rights. The University will continue its established operating model of in-house lock assembly and key cutting delivered by University locksmiths for security governance, responsiveness and value for money. Replacing the system would cause significant disruption and cost.
