Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process pertains to the maintenance of fire suppression systems for Translink, located in Belfast, UK. This contract has reached the award stage, with PSV Transport Ltd having been named the successful supplier. The procurement method employed was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This decision was based on the fact that only PSV Transport Ltd is authorised by Fogmaker, the system's manufacturer, to perform maintenance in the UK and Ireland. The contract was signed on 1st July 2022, and it involves the repair and maintenance services category according to the CPV classification.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in fire safety systems and maintenance, particularly those with a focus on bus fleets or transportation services. Given that PSV Transport Ltd is currently the sole authorised contractor, it may also open avenues for potential collaborations or certifications for other firms looking to enter this niche market. Companies equipped with the necessary qualifications and authorisations from manufacturers like Fogmaker, or those capable of providing innovative fire suppression solutions, would be well positioned to pursue future contracts in this sector.
