## Summary

The Northern Ireland Policing Board is overseeing the procurement process for fire alarm services for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Estate. This tender invites suppliers to provide routine maintenance and potential installation of fire alarm systems, gas suppression systems, and sprinkler systems across multiple sites compliant with BS5839-1:2017 and BS EN 12845 standards. The procurement is in the 'Tender' stage, employing a selective and competitive flexible procedure. Interested parties must submit their expressions of interest by 26th March 2026, with the award period concluding on 17th April 2026. The contract, valued at £4.2 million, covers works within the defence and security sector in Belfast (UKN), with a possible extension reaching up to the year 2033.

This procurement opportunity allows businesses specialising in fire alarm system installation and maintenance to secure a substantial, long-term contract. Companies well-versed in handling sensitive and comprehensive security systems will find ample growth potential, given the scope and complexity required by maintaining the PSNI estate efficiently. The competitive flexible procedure encourages those with innovative solutions, particularly those capable of providing 24/7 service. Businesses that address known risks, such as legislative changes, may strengthen their proposals, ensuring alignment with potential contract modifications during its term.
