Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Borough Council commissioned works to remove and replace the existing fire alarm system at Lord Hardy Court. The requirement covers fire-alarm system installation work, including the associated replacement activity needed to provide a functioning system in the residential court. The work is for the council and is delivered at Lord Hardy Court in Rotherham. This is a building-services and electrical installation opportunity rather than a supply-only purchase or general facilities-management service. Businesses operating in fire detection, alarm installation, electrical contracting or related building compliance works would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to undertake replacement projects in occupied or managed residential buildings. The procurement is classified as works, with fire-alarm system installation as the specific activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold procedure described as “unknown”. It comprised one lot. Rotherham Borough Council awarded the work to WDS Electrical Limited, an SME, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026, runs from 28 September 2026 to 4 December 2026, and has a gross value of £128,648.40 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The published outcome identifies fire-alarm system installation work as the awarded item. The award covers the single Lord Hardy Court requirement, so the stated value and delivery period relate to that requirement rather than to multiple lots or separate contracts.

This procurement shows that Rotherham Borough Council buys substantial, defined fire-alarm replacement works for its housing or managed-building estate through a below-threshold route. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in removing existing fire alarm systems and installing replacements, supported by competent electrical and fire-detection personnel, safe working methods and the capacity to deliver a complete project within a short programme. Experience of working in residential or occupied public-sector buildings would be commercially relevant because the requirement concerns a court rather than an isolated new-build installation. Suppliers should also be able to manage coordination, testing, commissioning and handover as part of a replacement project, rather than offering equipment alone.
