Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council has completed a procurement process for the replacement of the fire alarm system at Malvern Primary School. This contract falls under the industry category of "works," specifically focused on fire-alarm system installation. The location for the delivery of these services is within the UKD7 region, United Kingdom. The procurement process was conducted using a limited method due to the project being below the threshold, involving limited competition. The tender was at the award stage, with key dates including the contract signing on 19th June 2026 and the active period from 19th July to 23rd August 2026. The total contract value is £51,531, with an amount gross of £61,837.20 in GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the fire prevention and safety industry, particularly those specialising in fire-alarm system installation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that operate within similar project scales could find this type of project lucrative, as it highlights the potential for securing government contracts for necessary school infrastructure upgrades. Companies with capabilities in compliance with UK safety standards and expertise in installations for educational facilities are well-suited to compete in such procurement opportunities.
