Notice Title

Replacement of Static Fire Alarm System at Wrexham Maelor Hospital

Notice Description

Wrexham Maelor Hospital currently operates a Static Fire Alarm system that has been in place for over 20 years. The system is now obsolete and operates on a closed protocol, meaning only the original manufacturer can maintain, modify, or replace system components. This notice provides information around the award of this contract to the original manufacturer. The project which will be undertaken over a 2-year period, involves a comprehensive replacement of the fire alarm infrastructure, including the renewal of network cabling and control panels across the entire hospital site. Due to the proprietary nature of the existing system and the need for compatibility during phased replacement, it is essential that the appointed contractor has full access to the system's technical specifications, software, and hardware interfaces. Upon completion of this work, the upgraded system will be on an open protocol platform, which will allow open competition for any future works of this nature at the hospital.
