Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NPTC Group of Colleges is seeking a contractor for annual inspection, testing and maintenance of its fire detection and fire alarm systems. The requirement covers preventive maintenance and system maintenance services, including the work needed to keep the college’s fire safety systems inspected, tested and maintained. The buying organisation is NPTC Group of Colleges, based at Neath Campus on Dwr-y-Felin Road, Neath. The listed delivery location is Neath, although the procurement also identifies the United Kingdom as a wider delivery country. This is a services contract for a specialist fire alarm and detection systems maintenance provider. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established independent contractors as well as larger facilities, fire safety or building-services maintenance businesses.

The process reached tender: the college invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 20 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2029, covering three years. Its estimated value is £150,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The published requirement concerns one service package covering the college’s fire detection and fire alarm systems. The procurement uses the open method rather than a restricted or direct award route. The tender information identifies preventive maintenance and system maintenance as the service categories. Suppliers should review the competition requirements and submit their offer through the specified supplier route, quoting reference CA18257 when registering or accessing the opportunity.

This opportunity suits specialist fire alarm and fire detection maintenance contractors able to provide planned inspection, testing and servicing for a college estate. Relevant businesses are likely to include independent fire safety firms, electrical contractors with fire alarm capability, and facilities maintenance providers with an established systems-testing service. The work calls for practical competence in maintaining fire detection and alarm installations, organising annual inspections, recording test results and addressing maintenance requirements across an education setting. Firms should be able to provide reliable scheduled attendance and service continuity over the contract term, with sufficient trained personnel and operational capacity to meet the college’s needs. The stated SME suitability may make this a realistic opportunity for smaller contractors with the necessary technical capability and delivery arrangements.
