The brief

Duston Parish Council invites tenders for the supply, installation, commissioning and handover of an electronic access control system ("MAC Card system") covering both Duston Community Centre and St Luke's Centre, which are located in different parts of Duston.

The Council intends to replace key/lock-controlled access with centrally managed card-based access control, enabling authorised users to unlock doors using cards/fobs and enabling administrators to manage access via computer.
