Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University has completed its procurement process for the "Fire Alarm Testing and Maintenance" project across its campus, with contracts awarded on 30th May 2026. This open procedure tender, initiated on 9th January 2026, involved the maintenance of fire alarm systems in both academic and residential buildings in Cardiff, UK. The procurement falls under the service category and was divided into two lots titled "Academic Campus" and "Residences Campus", covering the entire university grounds. The contracts, valued at over £4 million combined, commenced on 1st August 2026 and are expected to run until July 2029, with options for renewal. The award was split between Innovative Fire & Security Limited and Protectorcomms Limited, both based in the UK, underlining their compliance with Welsh devolved regulations and the university’s operational standards.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies in the fire alarm systems maintenance and repair sector, particularly those familiar with the regulatory standards and capable of providing reliable services in large-scale environments like universities. Small to medium-sized enterprises that specialise in service provision for public sector institutions would be well-suited to compete for similar tenders. The opportunity for contract extensions and optional projects, such as remedial, reactive maintenance, and replacement services, further accentuates the potential for long-term business growth and strategic partnership with Cardiff University.
