UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Test Valley Borough Council is seeking a contractor to maintain the fire safety and security systems across its property estate in Andover and elsewhere in the borough. The work covers planned preventative maintenance, statutory inspections, servicing, testing and certification, as well as reactive repairs, emergency response and minor works. Systems must remain safe, operational and compliant with statutory duties, relevant British Standards, industry practice and manufacturers’ recommendations. The requirement includes fire alarms and other alarm systems, alongside associated installation work. The contractor will work across properties owned, occupied or managed by the council, rather than at a single named site.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 26 October 2026 at 12:00, and the submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00. The proposed contract period runs from 14 December 2026 to 13 December 2029, with an option to extend for up to three further years, to 13 December 2032, subject to satisfactory performance and budget availability. The estimated value is £360,000 excluding VAT (£432,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Cost accounts for 70% of the evaluation; quality accounts for 30%, covering resource availability, service delivery and contract management (12%), technical competence, experience and past performance (12%), and innovation, asset management, social value and sustainability (6%).

This requirement is suited to specialist fire safety and security systems contractors able to service, inspect, test and certify installed systems, respond to urgent faults and deliver repairs and minor works across a varied property estate. Suppliers need the people and operational capacity to provide a dependable planned maintenance programme alongside emergency response. Technical competence and a record of relevant experience and past performance will matter in the evaluation, as will the ability to manage the service and its assets effectively. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate compliance with applicable statutory obligations, British Standards, industry good practice and manufacturers’ recommendations. The contract also rewards proposals addressing innovation, social value and sustainability, although these factors carry less evaluation weight than cost.
