This project involves upgrading digital communicators for fire, intruder, lift alarms, and plant monitoring across the region code UKE. The procurement process aims to ensure compatibility with existing BS5979/BS9518 Alarm Receiving Centre software, Bold Gemini. Interested parties should note the future notice date set for 31 March 2025 for further information on the tender. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply and installation of alarm systems, particularly those with capabilities in dual-path signalling, IP, GPRS, and compliance with various British and European standards. The procurement aims to replace approximately 400 communicators, making it a promising opportunity for firms experienced in alarm-monitoring services and those capable of providing robust, compliant solutions. Companies with experience in providing digital communicators that can utilise both council-supplied and supplier SIM cards would be well-suited to compete for this project, facilitating business growth in the security and alarm systems sector. ## Notice Bradford Council are seeking expressions of interest to replace our existing digital communicators for our fire, intruder, lift alarms and plant monitoring.
