Summary of the contracting process

Flintshire County Council procured maintenance services for social alarm systems in its sheltered housing properties in Flintshire. The requirement concerns keeping resident alarm systems operational through maintenance; the award classifies the work under fire-alarm systems. The contract covers sheltered properties across the county, rather than a named individual site. The council is the buyer, and Chubb Fire & Security Limited was selected to provide the service. This is a local-authority requirement for the upkeep of social alarms in sheltered accommodation, making it relevant to providers of alarm maintenance and related fire and safety system services with the ability to serve housing sites in Flintshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Flintshire County Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, and awarded the single lot to Chubb Fire & Security Limited. The stated award value is £115,037.66 excluding VAT per annum, pro rata; the signed contract value is £172,556.49 excluding VAT (£207,067.79 including VAT). The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend to 31 March 2028. The council says any extension decision will depend on KPI results and performance. The stated evaluation basis is performance for the extension decision; no competition was held for the award.

This award shows Flintshire County Council’s demand for ongoing maintenance of social alarm systems in sheltered housing, with a defined county-wide property requirement and potential for continuity through an extension tied to performance. A credible future supplier would need to maintain alarm systems reliably across sheltered accommodation and demonstrate measurable service performance against KPIs, since performance informs the council’s extension decision. Providers with the operational capacity to cover multiple housing sites in Flintshire and relevant experience servicing fire-alarm or social alarm equipment are the closest fit. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this contract, so the outcome also indicates the route used for this instance; it does not establish how a future requirement would be procured.
