UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton Solent University has successfully completed the procurement process titled "Fire Alarm Detection Replacement," which falls under the works industry category. Located in Southampton, UK, the university initiated this process under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54 with a limited procurement method, indicating a below threshold competition. The contract, awarded to ARC Fire Safety and Security Ltd, was signed on 18th June 2025 and commenced on 1st August 2025, set to run until 1st September 2026 with a possible extension. The project involves replacing fire detection systems across the university's premises to adhere to statutory regulations, with the total gross value amounting to £247,021.20. The relevant delivery region for this contract is UKJ32.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in fire safety services, particularly those specialising in installing and maintaining fire-alarm systems. The contract's limited competition format suggests suitability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating within the fire safety sector, like ARC Fire Safety and Security Ltd, who successfully secured the contract. The project not only provides immediate business growth opportunities but could also lead to long-term engagements, especially with the possibility of contract renewals should there be infrastructural changes within the university. Companies that are agile and capable of adhering to compliance requirements in safety installation have much to gain from such opportunities.
