Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is seeking suppliers for the upgrading and maintenance of fire alarm systems across their estates to comply with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s Unwanted Fire Alarm Signals (UFAS) requirements. This open procedure contract, classified under CPV code 51700000 for installation services of fire protection equipment, covers several regions including the North, Orkney & Shetland, Central, and South. The procurement process has been completed with awards made on 13 and 01 November 2024 to ADT Fire & Security for the North, Orkney & Shetland, and Central regions, and to IC Fire & Security Limited for the South region, each with a contract value of £100,000. The project addresses a critical need in fire protection services, segmented into multiple lots each outlining specific regional requirements and quality and price evaluation criteria of 60% and 40% respectively.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in fire protection and alarm system installation to expand their market reach. Companies with expertise in this sector, particularly those that can deliver high-quality services while managing costs effectively, are well-suited to benefit from such procurement contracts. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) also have significant opportunities as some lots saw a healthy interest from SME bidders. Additionally, suppliers providing community benefits, such as apprenticeships or community engagement programs, may find this an attractive opportunity to bolster their business profile while contributing to local community development. As this contract emphasises electronic submissions and financial robustness assessed via business credit reports, firms capable of meeting these criteria are encouraged to engage in future procurement activities with HES.
