## Summary

Dartford Borough Council procured boroughwide fire safety servicing and maintenance covering fire alarms, sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers. The requirement includes twice-yearly servicing and maintenance visits to identified sites and housing schemes. This is a public-sector fire protection and firefighting equipment maintenance service, classified under CPV 50413200. Delivery is across the South East of England, for premises connected with the council’s boroughwide estate. The work is relevant to specialist fire safety contractors able to inspect, service and maintain alarm, sprinkler and extinguisher systems across multiple sites, rather than suppliers offering only isolated equipment sales or one-off repairs. The council is the buyer and the awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an appropriately capable SME.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Turnkey Fire Services Ltd on 23 February 2026. The award value is £120,000. The contract runs from 23 February 2026 to 23 September 2028. Dartford Borough Council used a selective call-off from the SEC Fire Safety Framework, so competition was limited to suppliers eligible to participate through that framework. The requirement was evaluated and awarded through that framework route, with the recorded award covering the full fire alarm, sprinkler system and extinguisher servicing requirement. The tender submission deadline was 16 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The council identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from Dartford Borough Council for recurring, planned fire safety maintenance across a boroughwide estate. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in servicing fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers, with the capacity to make scheduled visits across multiple sites and schemes. The twice-yearly service pattern points to the need for dependable mobilisation, route planning, record keeping and responsive maintenance capability, rather than occasional reactive work alone. Suppliers should also understand public-sector compliance requirements and be able to operate through an appropriate fire safety framework, since this procurement used a framework call-off rather than an unrestricted tender. The council’s identification of the work as suitable for SMEs indicates that a well-organised specialist contractor can be competitive without the scale of a national facilities management provider.
