Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council is buying smoke alarms and other smoke-detection equipment for vulnerable residents in Surrey. The requirement includes wireless smoke detection suitable for people who are hard of hearing. Equipment is provided through the Community Safety Partnership Team and fire crews following Safe & Well visits, so the purpose is to improve fire safety in residents’ homes identified through those visits. This is a supply contract for smoke-detection apparatus (CPV 38431200), delivered across Surrey, including the areas covered by Reigate and surrounding Surrey locations. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is focused on supplying appropriate domestic detection equipment rather than broader fire-safety consultancy or installation services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure described as “below threshold - unknown”. One lot was awarded to FIREBLITZ EXTINGUISHER LIMITED, an active supplier based in Luton. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2027. Its gross value is £204,000. The award covers the smoke alarms and detection equipment for the Surrey requirement, including the wireless hard-of-hearing provision. The published outcome identifies one selected supplier and one active contract. No evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria are recorded in the procurement information, so the available outcome is best understood as a completed, below-threshold goods purchase rather than an ongoing competition.

This procurement shows recurring demand from Surrey County Council for domestic smoke-detection equipment used with vulnerable residents after Safe & Well visits. A credible future competitor would need to supply reliable smoke alarms and other detectors, including wireless solutions for people who are hard of hearing, and understand the practical needs of fire crews and community safety teams working in residents’ homes. Relevant suppliers include manufacturers, specialist fire-safety equipment distributors and businesses able to provide consistent product supply across Surrey. The requirement also indicates the value of offering equipment suitable for targeted public-safety interventions, rather than only standard commercial fire-alarm products. Experience supplying local authorities, housing or community safety programmes would help demonstrate familiarity with vulnerable-user requirements, although this process does not state a specific accreditation or qualification.
