Procurement Information
Dacorum Borough Council intends to extend its existing contract for Fire Alarm Installation and Maintenance Services with TP Fire Limited by 12 months, from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026.

Reg. 72(8)(b): The modification does not introduce conditions that would have changed the outcome of the original procurement. Reg. 72(8)(c): The economic balance of the contract remains unchanged. Reg. 72(8)(d): The extension does not extend the scope considerably in the context of the 10-year contract lifecycle. Reg. 72(8)(e): There is no change of contractor.
