## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Together Housing Group Limited, a charitable organisation registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefits Societies Act 2014, pertains to the provision of a Waking Watch Service. This service focuses on trained personnel patrolling specified areas to detect fire risks and managing evacuations if necessary. The tender, classified under Fire-detection systems (CPV code 31625100), covers regions including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and East Midlands of the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was a call-off from a framework agreement, with the procurement stage now at the Award stage. Key deadlines included an end date for the tender period on 1 August 2024 and a contract period from 19 August 2024 to 18 August 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in fire-detection and alarm systems, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as signalled by the suitability criteria. Firms with resources to provide continuous patrol and emergency response services would be well-placed to compete. As the service required involves managing fire safety, companies experienced in security services and equipped to handle emergency evacuations stand to benefit. This procurement ensures a consistent revenue stream over the contract period, valued at £1,000,000, facilitating business growth for the awarded supplier, Fire and Evacuation Services Limited.
