Summary of the contracting process

The Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust, a public authority operating within the sub-central government sector, has completed the procurement process for their Fire and Security Servicing and Maintenance requirements. This initiative was undertaken through an open procedure, indicative of transparent market engagement. The contract spans from 5th January 2026 to 4th January 2029, with potential extensions available, and is valued at £480,000 gross. Headquartered in Okehampton, UK, the Trust awarded the contract to IDEPEND LTD, effective from 5th January 2026, following services covering fire alarms, intruder alarms, door access, emergency lighting, and more, particularly focusing on installation and maintenance services within the UKK43 region.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like IDEPEND LTD have successfully engaged in this procurement, highlighting the inclusive nature of the open procedure. Businesses accredited in fire and security servicing stand to gain by participating in similar tenders. The project’s extended timeline and options for additional contracts cater to entities capable of maintaining service continuity and flexibility.
