Summary of the contracting process

Wales and West Housing Association Ltd is procuring annual servicing, testing and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems for its housing operations. The requirement is for a suitably qualified contractor to maintain the systems’ ongoing reliability and performance, covering firefighting equipment maintenance, building-installation maintenance and sprinkler-system work. Delivery is divided across three Welsh regions: North Wales, West Wales and South Wales. The procurement is for services and may suit businesses providing planned fire-protection maintenance, sprinkler-system inspection, testing, servicing or related installation support. Suppliers should be able to operate across the relevant regional housing portfolio and demonstrate that they are suitably qualified to undertake this type of safety-critical work.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission via eTenderWales. Questions were due by 4 September 2026 at 17:00, and bids by 18 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date is 16 October 2026. The total estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT (£1,200,000 including VAT), divided into North Wales at £350,000 excluding VAT (£420,000 including VAT), West Wales at £150,000 (£180,000 including VAT), and South Wales at £500,000 (£600,000 including VAT). Each contract is planned from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028, with an option to extend through two further 12-month periods, potentially to 1 November 2030. Quality carries 60% and price 40%.

This opportunity suits suitably qualified fire-protection contractors with the technical capability to service, test and maintain sprinkler systems annually and support reliable performance over a multi-year housing contract. Businesses can pursue a regional requirement through the North Wales, West Wales or South Wales lot that matches their operational coverage. The procurement is expressly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it is not limited to large national providers. Relevant experience in planned sprinkler maintenance, firefighting-equipment servicing, building installations and safety-critical compliance work will be important. Suppliers must be able to submit offers electronically in English or Welsh and deliver consistently throughout their selected region.
