UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orwell Housing Association Ltd procured a property alarms, entry systems, security and emergency lighting service. The requirement covers servicing, repairs and installations for properties it owns and manages, including alarm monitoring, access-control systems, entrance telephones, emergency and security equipment, electrical installations, lighting, technical inspection and testing. It also includes associated electrical and construction work and related equipment. Delivery is across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement is for services rather than a supply-only requirement, and would suit a contractor able to combine planned servicing with responsive repairs and installation work across a broad housing-property portfolio.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a framework through a selective procedure. It was not competitively reopened for this award and comprised one completed lot. TP FIRE & SECURITY LTD was awarded the contract on 17 July 2026. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 30 August 2026 to 29 August 2029. Its value is £1,870,615.75 excluding VAT, or £2,244,738.90 including VAT. Orwell Housing Association Ltd may extend it for one further year on two occasions, giving a possible end date of 29 August 2031. The stated procurement route was award under framework; the published information does not set out separate evaluation weightings or additional participation criteria.

This award shows sustained demand from Orwell Housing Association for an integrated fire, security, access and emergency-lighting contractor, rather than a narrow single-trade supplier. A credible future competitor would need to service, repair and install alarms, access-control and entry systems, emergency lighting and associated electrical equipment, while supporting monitoring, inspection and testing. The requirement also favours operational capacity across properties throughout England, with the ability to coordinate planned work and responsive attendance over a housing portfolio. TP FIRE & SECURITY LTD’s selection demonstrates that an SME can meet this type of requirement. Suppliers with established housing-sector delivery, suitably skilled engineers, robust compliance processes and the capacity to manage geographically dispersed assets would be well placed when this buyer next tests the market.
