Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is procuring a framework for servicing, maintaining and repairing sprinkler systems and related firefighting and mechanical building installations. The work is divided between non-domestic sprinkler systems and domestic sprinkler systems, with both lots covering service, maintenance and repair. Installation work is also included in the classification of the non-domestic requirement. Services will be delivered in Fife, including the council’s relevant domestic and non-domestic premises. The procurement is being run by Fife Council, a local authority and central purchasing body. It is relevant to contractors specialising in sprinkler systems, fire-protection equipment and building-services maintenance, particularly those able to support both domestic and commercial environments. The framework also includes community-benefit requirements, with expected benefits linked to the quality requirements.

The procurement has reached tender: Fife Council invited offers through an open procedure for a framework agreement. Suppliers may bid for both lots, and the framework is expected to have up to three participants. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening and the award period starting at that time. The contracts are scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030, without renewal or additional options. The estimated total value is £624,000, and the stated average annual spend across both lots is £161,000; the lot descriptions state an average annual spend of £156,000. Evaluation is 60% price and 40% quality. Electronic submission in English is required, variants are not allowed, and electronic ordering and payment are supported.

This opportunity suits established sprinkler and fire-protection contractors with the technical capability to inspect, service, maintain and repair domestic and non-domestic sprinkler installations, firefighting equipment and associated mechanical building systems. Suppliers should be able to provide suitably qualified personnel and must identify the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. The selection requirements are set out in the supplier guidance and supporting economic and technical criteria, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate their suitability, technical competence and relevant delivery arrangements. The two-lot structure allows a business to target domestic work, non-domestic work or both. It is likely to suit firms with sufficient operational capacity to provide planned and responsive maintenance across Fife, while meeting quality and community-benefit requirements.
