Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Clyde College procured maintenance of its fire and intruder alarms, CCTV, access-control systems, external barriers and service intercoms, including maintenance of existing equipment across its Cardonald, Anniesland and Langside campuses in Glasgow. The requirement also covers security and fire-system work, with an addition for emergency break-glass devices, Galaxy Smart RIO and monitoring units programmed to trigger fire-alarm class-change tones. The purpose of that addition is to support compliance with Martyn’s Law. This is a specialist security-equipment maintenance service (CPV 50610000), rather than a supply-only purchase. The College sought one contractor for the service, with fire suppression and dry-riser fire mitigation work subcontracted by the successful provider.

The procurement was awarded to Dalkia Scotshield Limited through an open procedure. The award is recorded as active, and the contract was signed on 30 August 2024. The published contract value is £172,051.92, and its period is recorded as 360 days; the original requirement described a two-year initial term with two possible 12-month extensions, at the College’s discretion and subject to performance and budget. The initial estimated value was £200,000. Bids closed on 10 June 2024. Evaluation balanced price and quality: annual planned-maintenance cost was weighted at 30%, hourly and call-out rates at 25%, parts mark-up at 5%, with the remaining 40% covering service delivery, management, assurance, personnel, health and safety, environment, community benefits and fair work. The contract was modified for additional security and life-safety requirements.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need demonstrated capacity to maintain integrated fire and intruder alarms, CCTV, access control, barriers and intercoms across several college sites, as well as the technical equipment and systems to deliver planned maintenance and call-outs. The buyer’s qualification requirements point to relevant recent contracts of comparable scale and scope, qualified personnel, and recognised security, fire-safety and health-and-safety credentials such as NSI, SSAIB, BAFE or CHAS, or approved equivalents. Suppliers also need robust quality, environmental and health-and-safety management, with accepted certification or documented policies and processes. Financial resilience matters: the competition required relevant turnover and substantial professional indemnity, employers’ and public liability cover. Evaluation rewarded service methodology, contract management, quality improvement and responsible procurement as well as competitive maintenance, call-out and parts pricing.
