Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is procuring a sprinkler servicing, maintenance and repair framework for properties in Fife. The requirement covers inspection, servicing, planned maintenance and repairs to sprinkler systems, with separate provision for non-domestic and domestic settings. Suppliers can compete for Lot 1, covering non-domestic sprinkler services, Lot 2, covering domestic sprinkler services, or both. The procurement is for services rather than equipment supply or construction works. Fife Council is the public sector buyer and the framework is intended to support its property and housing-related requirements across the Fife area. Relevant work includes sprinkler system maintenance, testing, fault response and repair delivered at council premises and domestic properties.

The process has reached tender: Fife Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 14 September 2026 at 12:00. Both lots have a contract period from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030. The estimated total procurement value is GBP 624,000, and the stated average annual spend across both lots is GBP 161,000. This is a framework agreement with up to three participants, and suppliers may bid for both lots. Offers will be evaluated on quality and price, weighted 40% and 60% respectively. Variants are not permitted. The contract includes electronic payment and ordering, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits specialist fire-protection and sprinkler contractors able to service, maintain and repair systems in both domestic and non-domestic environments. Suppliers should have demonstrable relevant experience for the lot or lots pursued and be able to provide evidence through the required experience schedules. The tender also calls for confirmation of sprinkler-related accreditation and competency, so firms with appropriately accredited personnel and established technical assurance processes are well placed. Contractors must identify the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work, indicating a need for a suitably trained delivery team. The framework format favours businesses with the operational capacity to manage recurring inspection, maintenance and responsive repair workloads across Fife, either directly or through a compliant delivery network.
