## Summary

Thames Water Utilities Limited has initiated a tender process for the "Fire Alarm Installation and Maintenance" project, which is currently in the active stage following a cancellation notice earlier. The organisation plans to establish framework agreements with up to four suppliers to handle the design, supply, installation, and maintenance of fire alarms across the Thames Water region. This selective procurement, under the competitive flexible procedure, is based within the United Kingdom, specifically targeting regions UKI and UKJ. Interested parties must submit their Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PSQ) by 10:00 am on 3rd November 2025. The total estimated value of the procurement is £28,000,000, with the contract slated to commence on 1st April 2026 and potentially extend to 1st May 2034, subject to renewal options.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in fire alarm systems and installation work, particularly those with the capacity to execute large value projects exceeding £60,000. Companies with regional bases within the Thames Water service area can leverage their proximity for successful participation. The procurement process offers a chance for growth through long-term agreements and encompasses both planned maintenance and reactive tasks. The framework agreement aims to standardise fire alarm panels to Advanced models, providing suppliers a potential competitive edge through standardisation expertise and strategic positioning in the utilities industry.

## Notice

Thames Water intends to award Framework Agreements to up to four suppliers to design, supply, install and maintain fire alarms across the TW region. Each supplier will be allocated all planned maintenance, reactives, upgrades and installations in one area within the Thames Water region up to a value of PS60,000, after which work will be competed between the four suppliers. Note that we do NOT require all suppliers to be able to undertake planned maintenance across the TW region but we DO require all suppliers to undertake large value works (over PS60k) across the TW region with the assumption that more regionally based suppliers can still be successful in this process. Bidders will be asked for regional preferences in the PSQ. All suppliers awarded framework agreements will be required to undertake installation and/or remedial projects over PS60,000 across the Thames Water region. The current Thames Water alarm estate consists of a combination of Advance, Protec, Gent and Kentec. The overall strategy is to standardise to Advance panels across the Thames Water region. Please note that that deadline for asking for access to the PSQ & submitting of the PSQ is 10am, 3rd November 2025.
