## Summary

The procurement process involves Reading Borough Council seeking a contractor for the “Planned and Reactive Maintenance of Fire and Security Installations to Corporate Properties and Schools.” This contract, classified under services relating to fire and security systems, encompasses approximately 224 properties across Berkshire. The award was made on 8th August 2017, with the contract initially set for five years and a possible two-year extension. Notably, the contract value is estimated at £2,100,000, and the procurement method used was a selective restricted procedure, concluding the tender period on 1st December 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the security and maintenance industry, particularly those specialising in fire protection, burglar alarms, and related services. Companies capable of providing comprehensive emergency call-out services 24/7 over the contract duration would be well-suited to compete. Furthermore, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) could also find avenues for growth through collaboration or subcontracting, given the broad service requirements outlined in the procurement.
