## Summary

Dacorum Borough Council, located in Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom, is extending its contract with TP Fire Limited for the provision of fire alarm installation and maintenance services. This decision is detailed in a VEAT notice and follows the existing contract's completion on 30 June 2025, effectively extending it by 12 months until 30 June 2026. The procurement falls under the category of repair and maintenance services of firefighting equipment and utilises a limited negotiation process without the publication of a contract notice. The extension maintains the current scope, value, and nature of services, ensuring uninterrupted fire safety compliance across the borough, while allowing for structured reprocurement planning including market testing and strategy development.

This procurement extension presents an opportunity for businesses in the fire safety, maintenance, and engineering sectors to anticipate future openings in service provision to Dacorum Borough Council. As the council prepares for a competitive reprocurement, companies specialising in fire safety systems, particularly small and medium enterprises like TP Fire Limited, can position themselves as potential contenders for long-term contracts scheduled after June 2026. The competitive bidding process offers companies the chance to expand their operations within the region, enhance their service offerings, and contribute to safety and compliance efforts within local government housing and corporate estates.

## Notice

Dacorum Borough Council intends to extend its existing contract with TP Fire Limited for Fire Alarm Installation and Maintenance Services. The original contract commenced on 1 July 2015 for five years, with performance-based extensions up to ten years. The current term ends on 30 June 2025. This notice confirms the Council's intention to extend the contract by 12 months, from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026, to ensure continuity of service while a full competitive re-procurement is undertaken for a long-term successor arrangement.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The scope of the contract includes the installation and ongoing maintenance of fire alarm systems across the Council's housing and corporate estate.

### Procurement Information

Dacorum Borough Council intends to extend its existing contract for Fire Alarm Installation and Maintenance Services with TP Fire Limited by 12 months, from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. The Council considers this modification is lawful under Regulation 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, as it does not constitute a substantial change to the original contract: Reg. 72(8)(a): The extension does not render the contract materially different in character; it is a time-only extension. Reg. 72(8)(b): The modification does not introduce conditions that would have changed the outcome of the original procurement. Reg. 72(8)(c): The economic balance of the contract remains unchanged. Reg. 72(8)(d): The extension does not extend the scope considerably in the context of the 10-year contract lifecycle. Reg. 72(8)(e): There is no change of contractor. The extension allows Dacorum to conduct a structured and compliant re-procurement while ensuring uninterrupted statutory fire safety compliance.
