Summary of the contracting process

Teignbridge District Council procured a services contract for the maintenance of fire alarm installations and emergency lighting at various sites it manages. The work covers fire alarm detection systems and other associated devices, emergency lighting, and an ad hoc reactive repair and call-out service. Delivery is across sites managed by the council in the Teignbridge district, with the council based in Newton Abbot, Devon. This is relevant to businesses providing planned and reactive maintenance for fire alarm systems, emergency lighting and related building installations, particularly contractors able to support multiple public-sector sites and respond to repair call-outs. The requirement is a building-services maintenance opportunity rather than a new installation project, although the associated classification includes fire-alarm system installation work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Westcountry Fire Protection Limited on 10 April 2026 following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and is active. Its value is £84,395 excluding VAT, or £101,274 including VAT. The contract period runs from 22 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, with renewal provisions allowing the arrangement to extend to 31 March 2031. One lot was awarded, covering the full requirement. The recorded supplier is Westcountry Fire Protection Limited. The process was below the relevant threshold and used a limited competition route; the available outcome data records the award but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or evaluation weighting.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates an established council requirement combining planned maintenance with emergency response across a dispersed public estate. Credible suppliers would need practical expertise in servicing fire alarm installations, detection and associated devices, together with emergency-lighting inspection, maintenance and repair. The reactive call-out element points to a need for dependable response arrangements, fault diagnosis and the capacity to attend multiple council-managed locations. Experience delivering building-installation maintenance for a public authority would help demonstrate understanding of service continuity, site access and record-keeping requirements, although the published requirement does not identify particular accreditations or qualifications. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the scale and delivery model can suit a focused specialist contractor rather than only a national facilities-management group.
