This exercise is under Northern Irish devolved regulations, situated in the United Kingdom (specifically region UKN0E). As of 7th August 2026, the council is seeking to engage with potential suppliers through a pre-market engagement questionnaire, which must be submitted by 28th August 2026. The main industry category is services, specifically within the domain of security equipment, including burglar and fire alarms, and related maintenance services. The procurement method involves preliminary market engagement, not a formal tender process, at this stage. This market engagement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in security systems and services, from installation to monitoring, to showcase their capabilities to a significant public authority. The input obtained from this stage will inform the future tender, slated to commence by April 2027, with a contract duration extending potentially until 2032. Businesses with expertise in dynamic purchasing systems or those familiar with bespoke solutions for sub-central government institutions are well-suited to explore this opportunity. Engaging early could provide valuable insights and position companies favourably for forthcoming procurement processes. ## Notice Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a tender for the procurement of PPM and RM 03 - Intruder Alarm Systems and Monitoring. LCCC wishes to engage with the market at this stage to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the tendering process. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire. The questionnaire can be downloaded from the CfT Documents section. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than the date and time specified on eTendersNI. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire. Any information gathered will NOT be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider from participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/ provider at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and there is no commitment, at this stage to carrying out such a process. ### Planning Information Questionnaire needs to be completed and returned through the Etender Portal ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075070-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Aug 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2027 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LISBURN & CASTLEREAGH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LISBURN | | Post town | Northern Ireland | | Postcode | BT27 4RL | | Country | Northern Ireland | | ITL 1 | TLN Northern Ireland | | ITL 2 | TLN0 Northern Ireland | | ITL 3 | TLN0E Lisburn and Castlereagh | | Local authority | Lisburn and Castlereagh | | Electoral ward | Hillhall | | Westminster constituency | Lagan Valley | | Delivery location | TLN0E Lisburn and Castlereagh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 31625000 - Burglar and fire alarms - 35121700 - Alarm systems - 35125000 - Surveillance system - 45312200 - Burglar-alarm system installation work - 50610000 - Repair and maintenance services of security equipment - 79711000 - Alarm-monitoring services ## Release History - 7 Aug 2026 at 08:12 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075070-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075070-2026 7th August 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
