UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority procured intruder alarms and autodiallers linked to door-access systems for 36 sites. The equipment is intended to work with Dorset & Wiltshire Police control systems. The requirement includes one planned preventative maintenance visit. Alarms must meet BS EN 50131 and PD 6662 Grade 2 requirements. This is a goods requirement in the surveillance and security systems and devices category, covering supply and associated maintenance. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with the operational requirement focused on the fire and rescue authority’s 36 sites. The buyer is a public authority based in Salisbury, and the requirement is relevant to security-system suppliers able to provide compliant alarm and autodialler equipment with access-control integration.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. RED TECHNICAL SERVICES LIMITED was selected as supplier for the single lot. The award value is £160,704 gross, including the stated currency of GBP. The award was recorded on 14 August 2026, with the award status shown as pending and contract signature scheduled by 28 August 2026. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The selected supplier is a Bristol-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement has one completed lot, covering the alarms, autodiallers, police-control compatibility and planned preventative maintenance requirement.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for integrated fire and security technology across a multi-site public-sector estate, with a value substantial enough to support specialist suppliers and service partners. A credible competitor for the same buyer would need to supply intruder alarms and autodiallers that integrate with door-access systems and Dorset & Wiltshire Police control systems. It would also need demonstrable compliance with BS EN 50131 and PD 6662 Grade 2, together with the capability to plan and deliver preventative maintenance across 36 sites. The award to a Bristol-based SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business, provided it has the necessary technical competence, installation capacity, geographic coverage and ongoing maintenance capability.
