This initiative, within the public authority sub-central government category, is aimed at supplying, installing, and maintaining fire safety equipment for its property portfolio.

The contract was awarded to Walker Fire (UK) Limited, effective from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2027, with a gross contract value of £96,000. It was signed on December 15, 2025, with relevant services to be delivered primarily in the UKH12 region, United Kingdom.
