This project falls within the fire detection and alarm systems industry category and is located in England, specifically at the Hinkley Point A site with postal code TA5 1YA. Currently, the process is in the Planning stage, with a planned contract period starting from 1 April 2023 and ending on 23 December 2023. The total budget for this contract is set at £1,800,000, with a minimum value of £1,500,000. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure and is aimed at identifying solutions to replace obsolete fire detection systems with a new integrated wireless system, ensuring minimal disruption during the decommissioning phase. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fire protection systems, particularly those offering innovative wireless solutions. Companies experienced in developing fully integrated fire detection and alarm systems, especially those that can operate independently without any hardwired components, would be particularly well-suited for this contract. With an emphasis on flexibility and cost-effectiveness in a changing operational environment, the tender encourages competition from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) aiming to expand their services within the public sector. ## Notice Hinkley Point A currently have an overlay wireless fire detection and alarm system based on an EMS 5000 system (a fire detection system manufactured by EMS Security Group Ltd) which has been in place for approximately 15 years. This system, together with a number of smaller wired and wireless EMS Firecell systems provides the site with fire detection, fire alarms and other features such as call points, door actuation and alarms to the site alarm system known as the Plant Status Monitoring System, (PSMS). Both the EMS 5000 wireless and many of the hardwired systems have now become obsolete. Therefore a need has been identified for a site wide replacement fire detection and alarm system that can cater for the ongoing changing environment of a decommissioning site in a cost-effective and flexible manner and with minimal disruption to site operations. The work comprises the replacement of all fire detection systems on site with a new fully integrated wireless fire detection and alarm system. No hardwired systems shall be retained. Existing EMS 5000 equipment is to be replaced as it is no longer supported. EMS Firecell equipment is also to be replaced. The new system is to be interfaced with the PSMS. The new fire detection and alarm system shall have the capability to be used solely as a standalone wireless solution for the complete site. Tenders for hybrid systems i.e. part hardwired and part wireless will not be considered due to site constraints. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d9d5b3d-5401-401e-b4f2-8a9b6a1e0456 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 May 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2023 - 23 Dec 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,800,001 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MAGNOX LTD | | Locality | 0 | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS35 1RQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Severn Vale | | Westminster constituency | Thornbury and Yate | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting ### Codes - 31625100 - Fire-detection systems - 31625200 - Fire-alarm systems ## Release History - 19 May 2022 at 08:55 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d9d5b3d-5401-401e-b4f2-8a9b6a1e0456 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2d9d5b3d-5401-401e-b4f2-8a9b6a1e0456 19th May 2022 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/magnox-ltd ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
