## Summary

Norfolk County Council initiated a public procurement process titled "Fire Suppression System for Caister Waste Transfer Station," classified under the services industry category, specifically fire suppression systems and fire-prevention services. The process included a planned contract with an expected commencement date of 13 August 2025. Located in Norwich, UK, the tender was in the active stage before its recent cancellation, completed on 30 September 2025, due to no suitable tenders being received. Originally, the procurement involved an open method, with the procurement status now marked as complete following the decision to switch to a direct award process as guided by section 43 of the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses specializing in fire suppression systems, construction works for recycling stations, and fire-prevention services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with robust infrastructure, monitoring capabilities, warranty, maintenance skills, and effective communication would have been well-placed to compete. The total value identified for the services was £600,000, with a gross amount of £720,000, making it a substantial project for business growth, particularly for companies capable of delivering quality service and managing project risks effectively. The comprehensive procurement process, though shifted to a direct award, indicates significant opportunities for capable providers in the industry looking for government contracts to expand their operations.
