UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen commissioned the replacement of the fire alarm at Longshaw Community Junior School, together with associated works. This is a construction and building-services requirement focused on removing the existing fire alarm arrangement and installing a replacement system. The buyer is Blackburn with Darwen, a sub-central public authority. Delivery is in the Blackburn with Darwen area of England. The requirement relates specifically to a community junior school, so relevant suppliers are those able to work safely in an occupied or education setting and coordinate fire-alarm installation with associated building works. The procurement covers one completed requirement for the named school rather than a wider programme of fire-alarm services across multiple sites.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, Check Fire & Security Ltd, was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 14 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 17 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. Its value is £41,000 excluding VAT, or £49,200 including VAT. The tender was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available record identifies the procedure and requirement but does not set out separate quality, price or scoring weightings. The contract is recorded as active, and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist fire-alarm replacement work in a school environment, delivered by an SME fire and security contractor. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in surveying existing fire-alarm installations, designing or selecting compliant replacement equipment, removing or adapting existing systems, installing and commissioning the new system, and completing associated building works. Experience of working in education premises would be relevant, particularly where works must be coordinated around pupils, staff and school operations. Suppliers would also need sufficient workforce, project management and testing capacity to deliver a complete installation within a short school-site programme, while providing the documentation and handover information expected for a safety-critical building system.
