The requirement covers fire alarms, intruder alarms, fire and intruder alarm monitoring, controlled access systems using fobs or codes, emergency lighting, portable fire extinguishers and annual fire risk assessments. The service supports the safety of residents, staff and visitors and ongoing compliance with fire safety and emergency lighting requirements, including BS 9999, Approved Document B, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and BS 5266-1. This is a building electrical and mechanical installation maintenance service. The process reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions could be submitted until 9 October 2026 at 23:59, and tenders were due by 16 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was not allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with a possible extension of up to two years, giving a maximum period to 30 November 2031. The gross estimated value is £55,000. One lot covers the full requirement. Tenders are evaluated on price at 50%, quality and operational capability at 30%, and experience and references at 20%; the Council may select the most economically advantageous tender rather than the lowest price. This opportunity suits competent, qualified contractors able to manage a broad, multi-site portfolio of fire safety, security, access control and emergency lighting systems. Suppliers need practical capability in inspection, planned and reactive maintenance, alarm monitoring, testing, reporting and annual fire risk assessment. The quality assessment specifically considers the proposed methodology, preventative maintenance frequency, response arrangements, logbook and reporting system, and mobilisation plan, so bidders should be able to demonstrate robust operational processes and responsive service delivery. Relevant experience and strong references are important, particularly from public sector or local authority clients. The requirement also favours businesses familiar with the stated fire safety and emergency lighting standards. ## Notice Trowbridge Town Council ("the Council") invites tenders from competent and qualified contractors for the provision of testing, inspection, planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance and monitoring of the following systems: Fire alarm systems Intruder alarm systems Monitoring of fire and intruder alarms Controlled access (fob/code entry) systems Emergency lighting systems Portable fire extinguishers Annual fire risk assessments This service is required across seven Council sites ("the Sites") for an initial period of 3 years, with the option for the Council to extend for a further period of up to 2 years.
