Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the servicing, maintenance, and reactive works of fire hydrants and dry riser installations across the University of Edinburgh's estate has been awarded. The University of Edinburgh has appointed Core Fire Limited as the single supplier following an open procedure. The contract runs initially for two years, from March 1, 2026, to February 29, 2028, with possible extensions that could extend it to February 28, 2030. This process falls under the services industry category, with contract works mainly located in Edinburgh, within the region UKM75. The initial planning started in August 2025, followed by a tender period until December 4, 2025, leading to the contract award on February 5, 2026. The procurement stage is now complete, with an active contract in place.

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers specialising in fire safety services and solutions. Businesses with capabilities in servicing and maintaining fire hydrants and dry risers are well-positioned to compete. Core Fire Limited, a small to medium enterprise from Glasgow, successfully secured this contract, illustrating that SMEs can effectively compete if they meet the technical and financial criteria outlined by the University of Edinburgh. This contract demands specific qualifications, such as CHAS certification and NSI Gold accreditation, which offer growth opportunities for businesses already possessing such credentials or aiming to acquire them. This endeavour not only permits service providers to establish a robust relationship with a renowned educational institution but also helps in expanding their portfolio of public sector clients.
