Summary of the contracting process

North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College procured services to maintain, service and monitor fire alarm systems, intruder alarm systems, or combined fire and intruder systems. The requirement covers alarm-monitoring services and is intended to support the college’s premises across the United Kingdom. The buyer is North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College, based at its Nuneaton Campus. Suppliers may have been able to provide one specialist service or an integrated service covering both fire and intruder systems, depending on the relevant package. This is a facilities security and electronic alarm maintenance requirement rather than a construction project or supply-only opportunity.

The procurement has been awarded. It used a below-threshold open competition for services under the light-touch regime. The original estimated value was £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT), with three lots each estimated at £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). Lot 3, covering combined fire and intruder system maintenance, servicing and monitoring, was awarded to Churches Fire Security Ltd on 24 July 2026 for £50,097.20. Its contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions to 31 August 2031; signature was scheduled for 7 August 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 40%, staffing at 20%, service delivery at 15%, mobilisation and customer care at 10% each, and sustainability at 5%.

This award shows the college’s demand for a supplier able to deliver combined fire and intruder alarm maintenance, servicing and monitoring across multiple premises. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable mobilisation, planned and responsive service delivery, appropriately staffed teams, strong customer care and demonstrable sustainability practice. The evaluation gives greater weight to price than to any single quality factor, but quality elements together account for 60%, so operational capability and service management would be important alongside competitive pricing. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to capable specialist alarm and security businesses as well as larger integrated providers.
