Summary of the contracting process

Gloucester City Council has completed the procurement process for the installation of fire alarms at the Gloucester Museum, a Grade II listed building located on Brunswick Road, Gloucester. The project addresses urgent compliance issues within the existing fire alarm system and forms part of a broader refurbishment initiative. The tender involved an open competition below threshold, and SEVERNSIDE SECURITY LTD has been awarded the contract, effective from 20th April 2026 until 30th June 2026. This contract positions itself within the 'works' industry category with a gross award value of £64,919.03. Through this purchase, Gloucester City Council demonstrates its commitment to preserving historic architecture while ensuring compliance with safety standards.

This tender opens substantial opportunities for SMEs specialising in fire safety solutions, particularly those capable of integrating modern systems without compromising historical architectural integrity. Businesses with experience in discreetly upgrading listed buildings, especially those within the United Kingdom, can leverage their skills and strategic positioning to partake in similar contracts. Given the project's focus on compliance and sympathetic integration with the museum's historic fabric, suppliers with proven expertise in heritage preservation accompanied by innovative safety solutions are ideal candidates to explore further engagements with Gloucester City Council or similar projects across the region.
