Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Fire Alarm Modifications 2025" project has been completed by the University of Keele, under the Matrix - Ealing Procurement Framework. This project falls into the industry category of "Burglar and fire alarms," and the location for the delivery is Keele University, Newcastle, England, postal code ST5 5BG. The tender, valued at £272,971, was undertaken through a selective procurement method using a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage now stands at "Award," with key dates including the tender period ending on 27th June 2025 and the contract period running from 7th July 2025 to 31st July 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fire alarm systems, especially those able to leverage framework agreements. The project was awarded to Matrix SCM Ltd, a large-scale supplier, highlighting the potential for robust organisations to thrive in such contracts. Nonetheless, the procurement method's suitability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) suggests that there are opportunities for smaller entities with the necessary qualifications and framework affiliations to engage successfully in future opportunities of a similar nature. Engaging in projects like this can foster business growth through increased visibility and networking within public procurement frameworks.
