UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is seeking a contractor to inspect, test, maintain and monitor fire alarms and other life-safety systems across its council estate in Lisburn and Castlereagh, Northern Ireland. The work also covers reactive response to faults, verification of system assets, certification and reporting. This is a maintenance and monitoring service for fire-detection and fire-alarm systems (CPV 31625100), rather than a supply-only purchase. The requirement applies across the council estate and is managed by the Council. Suppliers should be able to provide an integrated service covering planned inspection and testing as well as responsive repairs and the associated records and certification.

The Council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC; questions were due by 19 October 2026 at 12:00 BST. Offers had to be submitted through the eTendersNI portal, in English. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with renewal options described as 3+1+1 and a maximum possible end date of 31 March 2032. The estimated gross value is £426,000. There is one lot. Evaluation assigns 70% to cost and 30% to quality. The Council expected to conclude its award decision by 31 December 2026.

This opportunity suits fire-alarm and life-safety systems contractors able to cover a council-wide estate and deliver both scheduled and reactive work. The service requires capability in inspection, testing, maintenance and monitoring, alongside prompt fault response, asset verification, certification and clear reporting. Suppliers need the operational capacity to maintain systems across multiple council locations and to keep service and compliance records. The combined scope may suit providers that can manage the full maintenance cycle rather than firms offering equipment alone. Quality forms part of the assessment alongside price, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a dependable service approach and the competence to deliver the specified life-safety work. Offers had to be submitted electronically through eTendersNI.
