Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sheffield has completed a tender process for the maintenance of its Alerter refuge system, classified under alarm-monitoring services. This limited procurement method was conducted without prior publication, in accordance with regulation 32, which permits direct awards when competition is absent for technical reasons. The contract, valued at £330,880, was signed on 24 June 2021, and the work is specifically designated to the Alerter Group, which is the system's manufacturer. The procurement falls within the education sector and takes place in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the security and alarm-monitoring industry, particularly those that specialise in maintenance services for existing systems. Companies with the capability to maintain or provide complementary solutions to the Alerter refuge system could find potential avenues for growth by establishing relationships with the University of Sheffield and similar educational institutions seeking reliable service providers. Larger organisations with experience in providing statutory maintenance are particularly well-suited to engage in future opportunities stemming from such contracts.
