## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Durham Aged Mineworkers' Homes Association revolves around a contract for upgrading fire alarms at Bulmer and Rutherford House. This contract, completed through a limited procurement method owing to its "below threshold" nature, emphasizes a specialised alarm-monitoring service within the services sector. The tender pertains to a sub-central government authority situated in Chester-le-Street, UKC14 region. Key individuals involve Ian Kirkby as the contact point for the buyer, while ICD Electrical Contractors Ltd, based in Consett, was the awarded supplier, contributing their SME expertise. The contract was signed on 4th August 2025, with the active period spanning from 5th August 2025 to 13th July 2026, offering a total gross amount of £139,713.60.

This procurement process presents significant business growth opportunities by offering companies in the alarm-monitoring and electrical services industry the chance to deliver essential upgrades for public housing safety. The project's technical demands align well with SMEs that have experience in managing fire alarm systems, particularly those accustomed to working within limited competition environments. It presents an ideal setting for businesses looking to establish relationships with public authorities and demonstrate their specialised capabilities in servicing sub-central government requirements.
