Summary of the contracting process

Southside Housing Association Ltd, a body governed by public law based in Glasgow, initiated a procurement process titled "Fire Safety Systems Servicing and Reactive Maintenance Contract," classified under the fire-prevention services category. The tender, issued under the open procedure method, involves servicing and maintaining fire safety systems across residential properties in Glasgow South, specifically in the UKM82 region. The procurement stage is complete, with the award granted on 20th November 2025, following an open tender process that attracted seven bids. The awarded contract, valued at £157,306.61, spans a three-year term with Invincible Security Ltd. as the supplier. Although the bidding period commenced with a submission deadline on 11th September 2025, interested parties are advised to engage in upcoming procurement opportunities by Southside Housing Association.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the fire safety and maintenance sector, particularly those offering comprehensive services for fire alarm systems, smoke extract systems, sprinkler systems, and emergency lighting. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), like Invincible Security Ltd., which secured the contract, demonstrate the potential for growth and expansion by participating in such public procurement processes. Companies specialising in fire safety and compliance with Scottish fire safety regulations, and those registered with the Companies House or equivalent, would be particularly well-suited to compete for future tenders. The inclusion of community benefits within these contracts further opens avenues for businesses to enhance their social responsibility profiles while fulfilling essential service requirements.
