Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council is seeking servicing and maintenance of fire suppression systems in domestic and residential properties across South Ayrshire. The framework is split into two lots: maintenance of mains- or pump-fed sprinkler systems, and maintenance of mains-fed ICO water-mist sprinkler systems. One provider is intended for each lot, and suppliers may bid for either or both. The requirement is described as covering domestic and non-domestic properties, although the individual lots specify domestic and residential properties. This is a service contract for ongoing inspection and maintenance of sprinkler and water-mist installations. Community benefits form part of the requirement, with details set out in the procurement documents.

The buyer invited tenders through an open procedure for a multi-provider, multi-lot framework agreement. The submission deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the bid opening was scheduled for the same time. Each lot has a contract period of 720 days, with two renewal options indicated. No estimated contract value is stated. Bids are evaluated on quality (20%) and price (80%). Suppliers may bid for one or both lots; variant bids are not allowed. The procurement sets out a requirement to hold, or commit to obtain before the framework begins, specified industry accreditations. The framework is expected to recur in September 2030. The procurement is at the tender stage; no cancellation or withdrawal is stated.

This opportunity suits fire-suppression contractors with experience servicing domestic sprinkler installations and the capacity to maintain either mains- or pump-fed systems or mains-fed ICO water-mist systems. To qualify across both lots, suppliers must hold, or be able to obtain before the framework starts, accreditation from the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association, the Fire Protection Association and the Residential Sprinkler Association. Suppliers bidding for the water-mist lot must also have IFC Certification, or equivalent certification, for servicing and maintaining water-mist sprinklers. Evidence of the required qualifications is requested at the request-for-documentation stage. Bidders should be able to demonstrate the relevant experience and capacity for the lot or lots they pursue. A supplier can seek one or both appointments; the council intends to appoint one provider to each lot. The weighting gives price greater importance than quality.
