Summary of the contracting process

Belfast City Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "T2524 Supply, Installation, Maintenance and Disposal of Fire Extinguishers." This process, relevant to the industry category of fire extinguishers and health and safety services, took place in Northern Ireland, UK. Initiated under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54, the procurement method employed was an open competition below the threshold. The contract, valued at £150,000 with a gross value of £180,000, encompasses a period from 29th September 2025 to 28th September 2026, with potential renewals up to 2030. Belfast City Council, located in Belfast, sought to ensure its extensive property portfolio remains compliant with safety standards through the services of DB McLarnon Fire Protection, which won the award on 15th September 2025.

This opportunity represents significant potential for businesses specialising in safety services, particularly those experienced with fire safety equipment and compliance. The tender required a balance of quality, cost-efficiency, and social value, which could appeal to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like DB McLarnon Fire Protection—a Belfast-based SME. The need for ongoing maintenance and future upgrades in line with changing legislative requirements opens avenues for continued engagement and service provision, thus fostering business growth within this sector. Companies with expertise in installing and maintaining safety equipment are well-suited to gain benefits from such public sector partnerships.
