## Summary

The procurement process for the maintenance of Gent Fire Alarm Systems across various sites of the Hywel Dda University Health Board, located in Carmarthen, was undertaken by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership. This contract is categorised under the 'services' industry, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance services. The tender was an open competition held below the threshold with a procurement method favouring wide participation. This process has progressed through to the award stage, with Merlin Fire Services being contracted to carry out the work. The contract, valued at £79,040 net with a gross amount of £94,848, spans from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2027 and was active as of the signature date on 30th October 2025.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the field of fire alarm system maintenance. The tender required suppliers to be Gent 24 approved Registered System Integrators, suggesting that businesses with specialised expertise in maintaining Gent, Vigilon, and Xenox panel systems were well-positioned to compete. Given the contract’s open competition nature, capable firms were encouraged to participate, supporting a competitive environment and the potential for new business relationships to be formed with public authorities. The contract also includes options for renewal based on expenditure, indicating further opportunities for sustained engagement and revenue streams for high-performing suppliers.
