## Summary

Historic England Limited is conducting a procurement process for the installation of a wireless fire alarm at BSH, a Grade I listed building located in Newcastle Upon Tyne. This tender, which is complete, had a tender period ending on 20th November 2018. The total value of the contract is £30,000 and it falls under the category of burglar and fire alarms (CPV code 31625000). The procurement method used was a direct approach, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, with the contract period starting on 21st November 2018 and ending on 21st December 2019.

This procurement opportunity can significantly aid businesses specialised in fire safety systems, particularly those with expertise in providing solutions for historic and vulnerable buildings. Companies that can offer innovative and compliant fire safety technology, particularly wireless systems suitable for property with restrictions, are encouraged to consider engaging with Historic England. Such businesses may benefit from their established reputation and influence in the sector, presenting a solid foundation for future projects and partnerships.

## Notice

The fire alarm at BSH is beyond repair and needs to be fixed. In testing there is a more than a reasonable chance that the fire alarm will be activated and cannot then be silenced: parts can no longer be sourced for this unit. A tender was held earlier in the year but only one return was received. A specialist firm to understand the intricacies of the building was sent as the property was then thought to be at risk. Following their investigations the alarm that's being offered is suitable for historic properties as its wireless at the sensor point and will provide an excellent cover for the building. BSH is located in the heart of Newcastle Upon Tyne and as such needs to protected, medieval in origin, its vulnerable to fire due to it being of wooden construction and the location next to numerous restaurants and bars. It is Grade I listed and open to the public.
