Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for a contract titled "Fire Alarms, Emergency Lighting, Fire Fighting Equipment, EICRs" was conducted by Bespoke Supportive Tenancies located in Eccles, United Kingdom. This contract involves servicing, maintenance, and repair of systems across approximately 270 properties nationwide over a 12-month period starting from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2026. The procurement is categorized under services and was finalized using a direct procurement method, classified as a below-threshold contract without competition due to the incumbent contractor’s inability to continue. This contract emerged during a transitional phase as Bespoke Supportive Tenancies navigates a merger with Westmoreland Supported Housing, with a long-term procurement plan set for 2026.

Despite the emergency nature of this tender, it offers substantial opportunities for growth in the security and maintenance sectors, particularly for businesses specializing in fire and electrical safety systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises, such as Security and Fire Experts Limited, the awarded supplier for this contract, are well-positioned to gain from such contracts due to the niche expertise and adaptability required. The scope of work spanning domestic and commercial systems across numerous properties presents significant prospects for businesses focusing on compliance and quality assurance in fire and electrical safety equipment maintenance.
