Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde procured services to maintain intruder alarms and disabled toilet alarms under a measured term contract. The work covers the University’s premises in Glasgow and includes planned and responsive maintenance associated with these alarm systems. It is a specialist electronic security and alarm-maintenance requirement, with electrical installation and related security equipment elements. The procurement is classified under CPV 79711000 for alarm-monitoring services, alongside codes covering burglar-alarm installation and security equipment. The University of Strathclyde is the buying organisation and also acts as a central purchasing body. The requirement is a single service package rather than separate workstreams, and the successful supplier is expected to provide the technical capability, qualified personnel and operational support needed to maintain these systems across the University’s estate.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender closed on 25 May 2026, with bid opening and the start of the award period on the same day. Eight electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. Rapid Fire Services Ltd. was awarded the contract for the single lot on 25 May 2026, at an awarded value of £213,737 excluding VAT; the original estimated value was £217,676. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and is active. Its stated duration is 24 months, with an option for up to two further 12-month extensions at the University’s discretion; the published contract period is also recorded as 1,440 days. Evaluation was based on technical quality at 40% and price at 60%.

This award shows established demand from the University of Strathclyde for specialist intruder-alarm and disabled-toilet-alarm maintenance delivered through an open competition. A credible future supplier would need experience in maintaining security and alarm systems, including the ability to provide both planned and responsive support across a university estate. Required professional standing includes NSI Gold, BSIA and NICEIC qualifications or equivalent, together with competence under BS 7671:2018 electrical-installation regulations. Suppliers would also need suitable quality-assurance and environmental-management arrangements, and the capacity to demonstrate trained personnel and dependable service delivery. The requirement is suitable for an SME with relevant security, fire-and-electrical systems expertise, robust compliance processes and the organisational capacity to manage a measured-term maintenance service for a major public-sector education organisation.
