Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is actively seeking to engage suppliers for a comprehensive framework concerning fire alarm, intruder alarm, and door access maintenance and repairs. This procurement falls under the facilities management services category and is planned to operate from Glenrothes, UK (region UKM72). Fife Council is considering consolidating this need into a single framework with two distinct lots, targeting both domestic and non-domestic requirements. The initiative is currently in the tender stage, following the recent amendment of the submission deadline to 13 October 2025. The procurement adopts a selective method under a restricted procedure, with electronic submission systems in place.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in facilities management services, particularly those with expertise in alarm systems and door access maintenance. The framework is estimated to accommodate contracts worth up to £3.5 million, potentially offering substantial business growth for qualifying contractors. Both large and small enterprises skilled in fire and intruder alarm systems, access control, and related maintenance services can compete, provided they can maintain high safety and operational standards. Businesses capable of meeting the selection criteria outlined in the SPD guidance are encouraged to participate, as this tender offers a gateway to solidify relationships with a regional authority like Fife Council and leverage public sector investment for future projects.
