## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has completed the procurement process for the provision of fire alarms and associated services, encompassing general and reactive maintenance and planned works. This contract, set to begin on 2nd June 2026 and potentially extendable for five years, focuses on ensuring the University's compliance across its estate. The procurement was conducted via an openly advertised Restricted Procedure, divided into two lots: Lot 1 covering the Central & Accommodation Area, and Lot 2 covering Science & Engineering, and Medical & Veterinary Areas, with each awarded to different suppliers. The total value for both lots is estimated at £10,000,000 over the initial three years with a possible two-year extension. The services fall under the category of repair and maintenance services, specifically fire-alarm systems, and will be delivered in the region UKM75.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in fire alarm systems and services, particularly those with experience in maintenance and installation works. The contract's division into two lots allows suppliers to bid selectively, potentially increasing their chances of securing a portion while mitigating delivery risks for the University. With evaluation criteria focusing heavily on technical capability (80%) over price (20%), companies with proven expertise in technical excellence are well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity. The emphasis on a rigorous pre-qualification and evaluation process ensures that only highly qualified and competent suppliers engage in the subsequent ITT phase, opening growth opportunities for businesses that meet the stringent requirements and can demonstrate their proficiency and reliability in delivering such critical services.
