Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen procured a fire and intruder alarm maintenance, repair and installation service for its sites in Aberdeen. The requirement covers inspection, testing, planned maintenance and reactive repairs for all types of fire alarms, intruder alarms and related equipment. The supplier must provide spare parts, labour and materials for servicing, maintaining, repairing and installing equipment where needed. This is a specialist building security and life-safety systems service, classified under CPV 79711000. The work is for the University of Aberdeen, a large public education organisation, and covers its University premises in Aberdeen. It suits firms able to deliver both planned and emergency-response work across installed alarm systems, with the resources to supply components and complete installations as well as routine maintenance.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. It used an open procedure with electronic submission and one lot. NUCORE GROUP LTD was selected, and the contract is active. The contract value is £250,000, signed on 28 July 2026. The initial contract period is 720 days, with three optional one-year extensions. Bids closed at 12:00 on 1 June 2026, when bids were also opened, and the award period began. Evaluation was weighted 80% technical quality and 20% price; variants were not allowed. Bids had to remain valid for 90 days and be submitted in English. Six bids were received, including four from SMEs, and all six were electronic.

This award demonstrates sustained institutional demand for a single provider able to manage the full lifecycle of fire and intruder alarm systems for a major university estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in inspection, testing, planned maintenance, reactive fault response, repairs and new installations across different alarm and related equipment types. It would also need dependable access to spare parts and the labour and materials to complete work without relying on separate providers. The evaluation gives technical quality substantially greater importance than price, so firms should be able to evidence robust service methods, competent engineers, effective response arrangements and reliable delivery across university premises. The participation of four SMEs shows that capable specialist businesses can compete, including through a focused maintenance and installation offer.
