The tender aims to appoint up to two suppliers per lot, with a potential contract award by 7th July 2026. The procurement adheres to PA2023 regulations and involves selective bidding methods, ensuring above-threshold compliance. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in fire-alarm systems, emergency equipment, and security systems, particularly those who can offer maintenance services and a 24-hour call-out facility. Small and medium-sized enterprises are encouraged to apply, as the process allows for their effective participation. The contract period extends from September 2026 to August 2029, with options for two additional one-year renewals, enabling substantial business growth. Firms ready to demonstrate economic robustness and technical proficiency will find engaging in this tender beneficial, particularly with a structured three-stage evaluation process favouring high-quality services and competitive prices. ## Notice Star Academies are looking to run an FTS (above threshold) compliant tender under PA2023 to appoint up to two suitable suppliers across each lot (region) in a dual sourced contract arrangement (please note that at Star's discretion a single supplier may be appointed to a lot where the scoring is strongly weighted in one supplier's favour).
