Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office (NAO), based in London, England, has completed the procurement process for "Alarm Maintenance Services," focused on burglar and fire alarms within the security services sector. The procurement was conducted under a limited competitive quotation process, specifically targeting contracts below the threshold. The tender was concluded on 3rd March 2025, and the contract commenced on 1st April 2025, extending until 31st March 2035. Valued at £24,060 GBP, the procurement is aligned with the services industry category and identified opportunities for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).

This procurement opportunity caters predominantly to SMEs specialising in security system services, specifically alarm and CCTV maintenance. Given the scope and duration of the contract, businesses focusing on long-term service provision in the UK stand to benefit. The nature of the procurement provides a stable revenue stream and potential company growth for enterprises experienced in delivering comprehensive security solutions. Although priority was given to SMEs, the process excluded ventures of a Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) nature, suggesting targeted growth opportunities for conventional private-sector businesses within the security domain.
