Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process, managed by Orbit Group Limited, focused on the service and maintenance of fire equipment and emergency lighting systems across the Midlands, East, and South regions. Classified under CPV code 50413200, this tender was initiated as a call-off from the CHIC Fire and Building Safety Framework. It followed a selective procurement method, culminating in an award phase with a contract period from 1st April 2026 to 21st March 2027. The contract, valued at £1,320,000, was awarded to EA-RS, a large-scale supplier, on 16th March 2026. The procurement stage is now complete, with the award notice published on 20th July 2026.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in fire safety and maintenance services. Companies with capabilities in handling large-scale service contracts and maintaining safety systems would find themselves well-suited to engage in similar opportunities. While the original procurement was not geared towards small or voluntary community sector enterprises, well-established firms can leverage framework agreements to secure ongoing work. Businesses can utilise this engagement as a stepping stone to expand service offerings in fire safety and maintenance across multiple geographical locations.
