## Summary

Gloucester City Council has completed the procurement process for the installation of fire alarms at the Gloucester Museum, a Grade II listed building located on Brunswick Road, Gloucester. The project addresses urgent compliance issues within the existing fire alarm system and forms part of a broader refurbishment initiative. The tender involved an open competition below threshold, and SEVERNSIDE SECURITY LTD has been awarded the contract, effective from 20th April 2026 until 30th June 2026. This contract positions itself within the 'works' industry category with a gross award value of £64,919.03. Through this purchase, Gloucester City Council demonstrates its commitment to preserving historic architecture while ensuring compliance with safety standards.

This tender opens substantial opportunities for SMEs specialising in fire safety solutions, particularly those capable of integrating modern systems without compromising historical architectural integrity. Businesses with experience in discreetly upgrading listed buildings, especially those within the United Kingdom, can leverage their skills and strategic positioning to partake in similar contracts. Given the project's focus on compliance and sympathetic integration with the museum's historic fabric, suppliers with proven expertise in heritage preservation accompanied by innovative safety solutions are ideal candidates to explore further engagements with Gloucester City Council or similar projects across the region.

## Notice

The Gloucester Museum, also known as the City Museum and Art Gallery on Brunswick Road, is a Grade II listed building included on the National Heritage List for England under entry number 1245964. Its designation recognises both the architectural quality and the historic significance of the building, which was originally constructed in 1892-3. Care should be taken and any works covered by this specification should be done sympathetically towards the building's fabric. This tender relates specifically to the fire alarm system at Gloucester Museum which forms part of a wider project which will eventually encompass a comprehensive refurbishment of the building, the present works are confined to addressing urgent non-compliance issues within the existing fire alarm installation.
