## Summary

The University of the West of England has successfully completed the procurement process for a fire detection system upgrade, titled "FR-B block fire detection aged changeout to self test as per DEF 30567". This contract is aligned with the public authority classification and follows a direct procurement method, indicating a below threshold process conducted without competition. The process has moved beyond the award stage, with the contract period occurring from 16th to 17th June 2026. The project falls under the services category, specifically repair and maintenance services of firefighting equipment, with operations centered in Bristol, UK (region UKK12).

This tender presents business growth opportunities primarily for companies specialising in firefighting equipment maintenance.

Defensor Maintenance Limited has been selected as the supplier, exemplifying the type of business suited for such contracts. This procurement, although now concluded, serves as a blueprint for future tenders where direct procurement methods are employed, opening avenues for suitably qualified businesses to engage with sub-central government authorities like universities.
