UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Trowbridge Town Council is buying inspection, testing, planned and reactive maintenance, and monitoring for fire and intruder alarms, alongside maintenance of controlled-access systems, emergency lighting and portable fire extinguishers, plus annual fire risk assessments. The work covers seven Council sites in Trowbridge. The purpose is to protect the safety and welfare of residents, staff and visitors and maintain compliance with fire-safety and emergency-lighting requirements. This is a building electrical and mechanical systems maintenance service, including alarm monitoring and fire-risk assessment.

The Council invited tenders through an open competition. The contract has one lot and was tendered at an estimated gross value of £55,000. The initial contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years, to a maximum end date of 30 November 2031. Questions were due by 9 October 2026 at 23:59, and tenders by 16 October 2026 at 12:00. The Council set a weighted evaluation: price 50%, quality and operational capability 30%, and experience and references 20%. It may select the most economically advantageous tender rather than the lowest-priced offer.

This requirement suits contractors able to service and monitor fire and intruder alarm systems and maintain access-control equipment, emergency lighting and portable extinguishers across multiple sites. Suppliers need the technical and operational capacity to carry out planned inspections and preventative maintenance, respond to faults, provide a mobilisation plan, and maintain logbooks and reporting. The Council specifically requires a competent and qualified contractor and assesses relevant experience, particularly work for public-sector or local-authority clients, supported by references. The work also calls for familiarity with BS 9999, Approved Document B, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and BS 5266-1. Firms with this compliance knowledge and the ability to coordinate several safety-related services are well placed to compete.
