Summary of the contracting process

The Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council has issued a procurement for the provision of Inspection and Maintenance of Fire, Security, and Communication Systems, identified by the tender ID T25/26-056. This project involves the management of systems across the council’s properties, including large leisure facilities and administrative centres. The procurement process, grounded in legal basis 2023/54, has moved from initial planning stages to a completed tender and award. Subsequent to a completed procurement on 19th May 2026, revisions were made, resulting in a new deadline of 12th June 2026 for the standstill period. The procurement method specified is the open procedure, suitable for projects exceeding the financial threshold, and applies Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses in the fire protection, security, and communication sectors, particularly those specialising in repair and maintenance services. Small and medium enterprises such as DB McLarnon Fire Protection Agency Ltd have emerged as key participants, with the procurement designed to accommodate such businesses, as demonstrated by the five SME bids reaching the final stage. Companies with capabilities in supplying and maintaining fire-alarm and closed-circuit surveillance systems will find this contract advantageous, given its potential renewal through March 2031. The substantial value of the contract, alongside its structured renewal possibilities, presents ongoing business engagements for those equipped to fulfil the council's requirements.
