Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority procured intruder alarm systems and autodiallers linked to door-access systems for 36 sites. The requirement included supplying compatible equipment and one planned preventative maintenance visit. The systems had to work with Dorset and Wiltshire Police control systems, supporting monitoring and alarm response arrangements. Intruder alarms were required to meet BS EN 50131 and PD6662 Grade 2 requirements. This is a goods procurement covering surveillance and security systems and devices. The buying authority is based in Salisbury, and the requirement relates to its operational sites across the Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue area. The scope is therefore relevant to suppliers of commercial intruder alarms, autodiallers, access-control integration and associated maintenance services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. It was a single-lot requirement. RED TECHNICAL SERVICES LIMITED was selected as supplier. The award value was £160,704 gross, and the resulting contract value was £150,313.80 gross. The award period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, with the technical scope centred on compatibility with police control systems, BS EN 50131 and PD6662 Grade 2 compliance, supply and planned preventative maintenance.

This award demonstrates demand from Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority for integrated security equipment across a substantial multi-site estate. Suppliers likely to be credible for a future requirement would need to supply and install intruder alarms and autodiallers, connect them reliably to door-access systems, and demonstrate compatibility with police control-room infrastructure. Relevant technical capability includes designing or configuring Grade 2 systems compliant with BS EN 50131 and PD6662, carrying out testing and fault diagnosis, and providing planned preventative maintenance. Competitors should also be able to coordinate delivery and support across 36 sites, manage consistent standards between locations, and provide dependable aftercare. Specialist security-system installers, alarm manufacturers, integrators and maintenance providers with public-sector or emergency-service experience would be well placed.
