Summary of the contracting process

The contract covers fire safety services at properties owned by Chichester District Council, including fire alarm-related work and fire-prevention installation. The work is in Chichester. Hampshire County Council acted as the buyer for this procurement on behalf of Chichester District Council.

The procurement has been awarded to Nexus Fire and Security Ltd. The award was made on 4 March 2026, for £42,774. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The council used a limited procedure through competitive quotation below the threshold. The tender submission deadline was 25 February 2026. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis.

This award shows that Chichester District Council buys fire safety services for its own properties, covering fire alarm-related work and fire-prevention installation. Nexus Fire and Security Ltd, an SME, was selected through competitive quotation. Businesses seeking to compete when this requirement returns to market would need to be credible providers of fire safety services for council-owned buildings, with the capability to undertake the relevant alarm and fire-prevention installation work. The award provides evidence of a relatively focused requirement for a single buyer, rather than a broad multi-lot programme.
