Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management is seeking preventative maintenance and reactive call-out services for its fire alarm and associated systems. The requirement covers three areas: Notifier fire alarm systems, Gent fire alarm systems, and Advanced fire alarm systems with remote monitoring. Associated work includes maintaining fire-protection and electrical building systems. Delivery is across the Northumbria Healthcare estate in Northumberland and the wider North East of England. Suppliers can bid for the system types that match their service capability; the requirement is for services, with related equipment and fire-protection systems included.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is divided into three lots, one for each system type, and suppliers may be assessed against economic and technical conditions set out in the Supplier Information Questionnaire and specification. Questions were due by 23 November 2026 at 12:00, and bids by 27 November 2026 at 12:00. The estimated total value is £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). Each lot has a three-year contract period from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum term to 30 April 2032. Evaluation weights quality at 50%, corporate social responsibility at 10%, call-out price at 15% and maintenance price at 25%.

This opportunity suits fire-alarm maintenance contractors able to provide both planned preventative servicing and responsive repairs or call-outs. Relevant suppliers should have experience with the specific equipment in the lot they pursue: Notifier systems, Gent systems, or Advanced systems and remote monitoring. The three-lot structure allows a supplier to focus on its strongest system expertise, and each lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Competition is based on quality and corporate social responsibility as well as call-out and maintenance pricing, so bidders need to demonstrate a credible service approach and value across both planned and reactive work. Economic and technical participation conditions apply as set out in the supplier questionnaire and specification.
