UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation is seeking a contractor to install a fire alarm system at Kifaru Barracks, described as BATUK. This is a works requirement focused on fire-alarm system installation rather than the supply of standalone equipment. Delivery and installation will take place in Kenya. The buying organisation is a central government defence infrastructure body, so the requirement is intended to support facilities used by the UK defence presence overseas. Businesses should therefore consider whether they can undertake fire alarm installation works at a barracks site in Kenya, including the practical, logistical and site-delivery requirements associated with work outside the UK. The requirement is presented as one defined installation project.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 5 October 2026 at 15:00, and offers had to be submitted by 12 October 2026 at 15:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the Ministry of Defence’s online procurement service. The single lot has an estimated value of £200,000 including tax. Its contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 26 February 2027. The stated evaluation basis is the Value for Money Index. The procurement is below the applicable threshold and is being run as an open procedure, so businesses meeting the requirement can compete without a prior shortlisting stage.

This opportunity suits specialist fire alarm installation contractors with the technical capability to design, install, configure and test fire alarm systems in operational or defence-related premises. Relevant experience of barracks, secure sites, public buildings or other complex facilities would be useful, particularly where work must be coordinated safely around an occupied estate. Suppliers should be able to mobilise and manage delivery in Kenya, deal with overseas logistics and site conditions, and complete the installation within the required project period. The requirement is likely to suit established firms with sufficient installation teams, supervision, commissioning expertise and quality controls to deliver a complete system rather than isolated equipment supply. Contractors experienced in delivering value-focused public sector works should also be well placed to compete.
