Summary of the contracting process

The UK Shared Business Services Limited has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Fire Suppression for Admirals and Giants Buildings at BAS Rothera Research Station." This contract was directly awarded to Argus Fire Protection Company Ltd, following the unsuccessful open tender conducted in August 2019 due to a limited supply base for the required works. The contract is classified under the CPV code for fire suppression systems, with a total value of £163,155.95. The contract period commenced on 25th October 2019 and will conclude on 31st August 2020.

This procurement presents potential opportunities for businesses specialising in fire safety and suppression systems, particularly those with capabilities in providing comprehensive fire protection services. As the initial open tender yielded no compliant bids, suppliers with innovative solutions and competitive offerings may find this to be a promising area for growth. Businesses that can demonstrate relevant experience and a capacity for large-scale projects would be well-suited to engage in similar future tenders, fostering competition in the market.
