## Summary

The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (RWCMD) has initiated a procurement process to update the refuge alarm systems in the Raymond Edwards Building and Anthony Hopkins Centre, Cardiff. Partnering with the University of South Wales, acting as the procuring entity, this tender falls under the category of fire alarm systems installation within the works industry. The procurement stage is currently at the tender phase, with an end date for submissions set for 22 July 2026. This open competition, conducted below the financial threshold, will be facilitated through eTenderWales, and interested parties must register to submit their bids. The contract will commence on 24 August 2026 and conclude by 14 September 2026, with a total gross value of £50,000.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in alarm systems, especially those experienced in fire-alarm installations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations classed as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given their recognised suitability under the procurement terms. With an emphasis on price as a key award criterion, companies capable of delivering high-quality solutions at competitive rates will find themselves well-positioned. Participation in this project not only offers the potential for contractual revenue but also aids in building credentials within the public sector procurement landscape.

## Notice

The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (RWCMD) currently have a telephone system at the refuge points in the Raymond Edwards Building and Anthony Hopkins Centre to enable communication to the reception areas for anyone who requires assistance. This system is outdated and no longer compliant, so we are seeking a reliable contractor to supply and install a non-closed BS compliant 2-way communication system.
