The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with potential bidders required to submit their Preliminary Market Engagement response document by 31 January 2025, 17:00, via the UoN's Oracle Fusion Supplier Portal. The project is focussed on replacing old fire alarm systems across multiple locations within the University Park and Sutton Bonnington campuses. This preliminary engagement is aimed at creating a pre-approved supplier list, though it does not constitute a call for competition. The main procurement category is goods, specifically burglar and fire alarms (CPV code 31625000), with a total project value of £500,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in fire detection and alarm systems, particularly those accredited as Gent Fire detection systems integrators (LPS1014 certificated). Companies that secure a place on the approved supplier list can potentially be involved in a series of projects over several years, although securing business is not guaranteed and may require further competition. The opportunity is well-suited for businesses that are well-versed in system integration and have the necessary certifications to handle sizeable public sector projects. ## Notice Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire for: The replacement of Fire Detection / Alarm Systems, conducted under the University's Asset Replacement Programme) The university of Nottingham is looking to create an approved Database (ASD), a list of pre-approved suppliers capable of replacing old UoN fire alarms systems.
