Situated at Kedleston Road, Derby, the University of Derby acts as the buying organisation. Commencing on 1 May 2026 and expected to end on 30 April 2029, with possible extensions until 2031, this selective procurement follows a competitive flexible procedure. Global Fire Systems Limited has been identified as the supplier for this contract, marked with a gross value of £2,750,000, showcasing significant business interests. The standstill period ends on 9 April 2026, with the final contract signature scheduled for 30 April 2026.
