Summary of the contracting process

Sefton Council has completed a direct procurement process without competition for the reinstatement of the fire alarm system at The Triad, located in Bootle, United Kingdom. The procurement, classified under the goods category for fire-alarm and fire-detection systems, ran from March 2026 to March 2027. The contract, valued at £59,999 GBP, was awarded to Protect Fire Detection plc, a SME based in Nelson. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, concluded with an award in February 2026 and the contract was signed on 26th February 2026.

This procurement offers business opportunities for companies specialising in fire alarm and fire detection systems, particularly those within the goods sector. SMEs capable of providing quality fire safety equipment could find growth potential in similar contracts with public authorities like Sefton Council, who may engage in direct procurement methods for projects below the competitive threshold. Protect Fire Detection plc's successful involvement showcases the potential for SMEs to secure significant contracts with sub-central government entities. Businesses focusing on similar products and technologies may find rewarding ventures in collaborations with councils prioritising safety and emergency systems enhancements.
