UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by UK Research and Innovation involves a contract for the "Maintenance of Fire Suppression Systems" over a four-year period. This contract, identified by CSP25428, covers planned preventive maintenance and legal compliance for fire suppression systems. The process was concluded without competition due to the lack of alternatives, thus employing a direct procurement method below the threshold. The tender is part of the services category, specifically targeting fire suppression systems and maintenance services for firefighting equipment. The procurement process is in the award stage, and the contract was signed on 16th October 2025, with the official contract period starting from 3rd November 2025 and ending on 31st October 2029. The delivery location is within the United Kingdom, with an overall gross value of £12,000.

This tender creates growth opportunities for businesses specialising in fire suppression systems and maintenance services, particularly those with niche expertise or unique capabilities that meet the specific technical requirements outlined in the contract. SMEs such as Robon Ltd, which was awarded the contract, would be perfectly suited to compete, especially if they have the capacity to perform regular, legally-compliant maintenance visits. Businesses interested in similar government contracts should focus on developing niche specialities and obtaining any necessary accreditations to fulfil highly specified technical requirements. This procurement underscores the potential for companies that can deliver specialised services efficiently and with due compliance in a competitive market.
