## Summary

The Corporate Maintenance Contract for Fire & Security services conducted by Cumberland Council is focused on providing reactive, statutory, and planned maintenance services for fire alarms and security systems across the council's properties in Cumbria, United Kingdom. Managed through an open procedure, this contract process involves servicing approximately 338 properties divided into two geographical lots, with the active procurement stage indicating completion. Key dates for this contract include a start date on 1st June 2025, and an initial end date of 31st March 2027, extendable up to 31st March 2029. The procurement is backed by the legislative framework detailed under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and holds substantial value with a gross amount of £960,000 for both lots. The procurement process was designed to adhere to the highest safety standards, necessitated by the complex nature of services required.
