Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Gloucester City Council involves the replacement of fire alarms at the Museum of Gloucester, a Grade II listed building recognised for its architectural and historic significance. This process is categorised under the 'works' industry and follows an open procurement method for below-threshold contracts. The procurement, with an overall value of £64,919.03, moved from the tender to the award stage, as of 6th July 2026, with significant redevelopment of the building anticipated. Gloucester City Council, located in North Warehouse, Gloucester, plays the role of the buyer in this procurement under the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54, adhering to sub-central government public authority classification guidelines.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in fire-alarm system installations, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like SEVERNSIDE SECURITY LTD, which was the successful supplier. The project invites SMEs to engage with a public authority to apply their expertise on historically significant buildings, offering growth through partnership and intricate project execution. The successful completion offers future opportunities to collaborate on comprehensive refurbishments, catering to those who have proficiency in integrating modern systems within heritage settings without compromising the architectural integrity.
