## Summary

The South Lanarkshire Council is seeking to formalise a contract for the service, maintenance, and repair of closed protocol intruder alarms across its properties. This tender, identified as SLC/PS/HTR/21/123, falls under the classification of repair and maintenance services within the services category and is located in South Lanarkshire. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, having been completed with a contract signed on 31 March 2022, valued at £450,000 and active for a duration of five years with the potential for an extension. It follows a limited procurement method without prior publication due to the technical nature of the services, which necessitate a specific supplier—Spie Scotshield Limited.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the security and maintenance sector, particularly those specialising in closed protocol alarm systems. Given the unique nature of the system and the absence of competition for technical reasons, companies that offer specific expertise in servicing, maintaining, and repairing such systems would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may benefit from the specialised skill set required and the structured nature of the procurement process.

## Notice

There are forty-three closed protocol intruder alarms within Council and SLLC properties throughout the Council area which were installed by Spie Scotshield Limited (Spie Scotshield) because of an architect's design, when the properties were built. The Council therefore require to procure a contract with Spie Scotshield to undertake all inspections, routine servicing, and maintenance, repair and / or replacement of parts identified during maintenance visits; call outs to reset the systems or to repair as necessary to ensure the satisfactory operation of the intruder systems within those properties. The works comprise a service and maintenance contract covering two service visits per annum and emergency call outs for repair work or resetting the system after an activation including false alarms and break-ins.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The procurement of the contract was undertaken via Negotiated Tendering Procedure which can be justified under Regulation 33(1) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 for the following reason:- The services can only be supplied by a particular contractor because competition is absent for technical reasons and no alternative or substitute exists, and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. The 43 intruder alarms installed in Council and SLLC properties by Spie Scotshield are 'closed protocol' systems. The intruder alarms are stand-alone systems where the device manufacturer produces all the devices and control panels for the complete network and there is no compatibility with any other manufacturer's components. Therefore, the closed protocol intruder alarms can only be serviced, maintained, and repaired by qualified engineers from Spie Scotshield. Additional information: The contract being awarded is for 5 years with an optional extension of up to 5 years subject to satisfactory performance, financial standing and availability of funding
