UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council is buying servicing and maintenance of its fire alarm, security and alarm-monitoring systems across Lancashire. The requirement is divided between the north and south of the county, with separate lots for each area. The work covers the council’s fire, security and alarm systems; suppliers specialising in maintaining and servicing these systems are the most directly relevant. Delivery is across Lancashire, England.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The submission deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the stated end of the award period was 9 December 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with possible extensions up to a maximum total duration of 48 months, ending no later than 31 January 2031. The estimated gross value is £2.8 million: £1.96 million for the north lot and £840,000 for the south lot. Each lot is evaluated on quality (40%) and price (60%).

This opportunity is suited to contractors with the technical capability and operational capacity to service and maintain fire alarms, security systems and associated alarm-monitoring systems across the relevant part of Lancashire. The regional split gives suppliers the choice to focus on the north or south rather than bid for the whole county. The work is a continuing service requirement, initially spanning two years, with potential extensions that could support a longer-term customer relationship. The evaluation gives price greater weight than quality, while quality still accounts for a substantial share of the assessment; suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate a competitive service offer alongside credible technical delivery.
