Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council procured works for Phase 1 of the fire alarm upgrade at YG Rhydywaun. The requirement covers construction work associated with upgrading the site’s fire alarm system. Delivery is in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement sits within its property maintenance responsibilities. This is a site-specific building works opportunity rather than a general supply contract, so it is most relevant to contractors that deliver fire alarm upgrade or related construction work in public buildings. The procurement concerns one defined package of works for the YG Rhydywaun site, with the successful supplier responsible for carrying out the contracted upgrade works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Ambassador Fire & Security Ltd. The award is active and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £28,185 excluding VAT, or £33,822 including VAT. The tender was evaluated through the limited competition procedure, with the available record identifying the procurement route but not setting out detailed scoring criteria. Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council is the buyer. This is an awarded outcome, not an invitation to submit a bid for the current works.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for public-sector fire alarm upgrade works at a Welsh education site, delivered as a relatively contained construction package. It is relevant to established fire alarm contractors and building-services businesses able to undertake upgrade work, coordinate site activities and complete works within a fixed delivery window. The successful supplier, Ambassador Fire & Security Ltd, is recorded as a large business, indicating that the buyer has previously appointed a supplier with substantial organisational capacity. A credible future competitor would therefore need practical fire alarm installation and upgrade capability, experience working in public or educational buildings, reliable project management and sufficient resources to deliver a complete site package for Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council.
