Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council, based in Inverness, is preparing to initiate a procurement process for the inspection, servicing, repair, and call outs related to fire suppression systems across its business units and buildings in the Highland Council area. This process, detailed under the procurement reference AUG537701 and classified under the industry category codes 35111500 and 44115500, is currently in the planning stage, as indicated by a Prior Information Notice (PIN) dated 26th August 2025. Interested parties should anticipate the official publication of the Contract Notice on or around 6th October 2025. The contract, valued at approximately £480,000, promises adherence to applicable EU/BS standards and statutory requirements, ensuring the correct and safe operation of fire suppression systems.

This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for companies specialising in fire safety services and maintenance, particularly those with certification under the LPCB 1048 scheme or an equivalent. Businesses within the general public services sector, and particularly those operating in or able to serve the UKM6 region, would find this tender suitable to expand their footprint or establish new client relations. Given the scale and specialised requirements of The Highland Council's assets, firms with robust service delivery capabilities and compliance with international fire safety standards will likely find this opportunity aligns with their growth strategies.
