UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NPTC Group of Colleges is seeking a contractor for the annual inspection, testing and maintenance of its fire detection and fire alarm systems. The requirement covers preventive and system maintenance services for the College’s equipment, supporting continued operation and fire safety across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is NPTC Group of Colleges, based at its Neath Campus in Neath, Wales. This is a specialist facilities maintenance opportunity for businesses that service, test and maintain fire detection and alarm installations, rather than a supply-only contract or a general building maintenance requirement. The work is categorised as services and is relevant to contractors with an established fire systems maintenance operation and the resources to provide planned annual inspections and associated testing.

The procurement has reached tender: NPTC Group of Colleges invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 11 August 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is due to run from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2029, with one possible 12-month extension to 11 October 2030. Its estimated value is £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Tenders are evaluated on technical and quality factors worth 60% and price worth 40%. Electronic submission is allowed, with submissions made through the MultiQuote supplier platform. The opportunity is below the applicable procurement threshold.

This opportunity suits specialist fire and security systems maintenance contractors with the technical capability to inspect, test and maintain fire detection and fire alarm systems over a multi-year service period. Suppliers should be able to organise recurring annual inspections, carry out system maintenance, and support reliable operation across the College’s requirements in the United Kingdom. The 60% technical and quality weighting means evidence of a robust service approach, competent personnel, testing arrangements and dependable reporting is likely to be commercially important, alongside a competitive price. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it may be accessible to established smaller providers as well as larger national maintenance firms.
