Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen procured inspection, testing, planned maintenance, reactive repairs and installation for all types of fire alarms, intruder alarms and related equipment. The service includes supplying spare parts, labour and materials needed to service, maintain, repair or install the equipment. This is a specialist alarm-monitoring and systems-maintenance service, with system maintenance services also classified within the requirement. Delivery is at the University’s facilities in Aberdeen. The buyer is a public university based at University Office, King’s College, Aberdeen. The requirement covers both routine planned work and responsive repairs, as well as installation where necessary, so it suits providers able to manage an ongoing, mixed maintenance and installation service rather than a single equipment supply.

The procurement has reached the award stage. It used an open procedure, with electronic submission and English-language bids. The tender closed at 12:00 on 1 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 28 July 2026. The active contract is valued at £250,000 excluding any stated currency conversion, and the underlying service period is 720 days, with three optional one-year extensions. NUCORE GROUP LTD was awarded the contract. Six bids were received, including four from SMEs, and all bids were submitted electronically. Evaluation was based on technical quality weighted at 80% and price at 20%; variants were not allowed. The process covered one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are active.

This outcome indicates demand from the University of Aberdeen for a supplier capable of maintaining a varied estate of fire and intruder alarm systems, responding to faults, carrying out inspections and testing, completing planned maintenance, and installing equipment when required. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability across both fire and security alarm systems, with sufficient engineers, tools and operational capacity to combine scheduled visits with reactive call-outs. It would also need reliable access to compatible spare parts and the ability to provide all labour and materials. The award attracted six bids, four from SMEs, showing that the requirement was accessible to smaller specialist businesses as well as larger contractors. Experience delivering integrated maintenance and repair services for institutional premises would strengthen a competing offer.
