The scope covers the inspection, repair, maintenance and servicing of fire alarm systems, firefighting equipment, fire extinguishers, fire suppression systems and other fire-protection equipment, including fire blankets. The requirement is a services contract supporting the safe operation of university buildings and facilities at Woodlane in Falmouth and Treliever Road in Penryn. It may suit businesses specialising in planned and reactive fire safety maintenance, testing and equipment services that can provide a coordinated service across both campus locations. The buyer is a public undertaking responsible for the university campus facilities. The procurement has reached tender: Falmouth Exeter Plus invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries is 9 October 2026 at 11:00, and the deadline for submitting offers is 16 October 2026 at 11:00. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. The initial contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with an option, subject to both parties’ agreement, to extend for two further 12-month periods, giving a possible end date of 30 November 2030. The contract will be awarded on 45% commercial criteria, 45% technical ability and quality, and 10% sustainability and social value. Economic and technical selection requirements apply as set out in the tender documents. This opportunity suits fire protection contractors able to deliver a broad, managed service covering fire alarms, extinguishers, firefighting equipment, suppression systems and associated fire-protection products. Suppliers will need the technical ability and quality controls to maintain and repair systems across university campuses, together with the economic capacity required for a substantial, multi-site service contract. The buyer has indicated that the opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist regional firms may be well placed to compete, either independently or with delivery partners where appropriate. Bids will also need to demonstrate how the service supports sustainability and social value, alongside competitive commercial terms. Firms with strong operational coordination, compliance-focused maintenance processes and relevant institutional or complex-building experience are likely to find the requirement commercially relevant. ## Notice Falmouth Exeter Plus (FXPlus) is looking to appoint a single contractor to carry out a range of Fire Safety Systems services to the University Campuses at Falmouth (Woodlane, Falmouth) and Penryn (Treliever Road, Penryn). The contract will be for 36 months with the option to extend for a further period of 2 x 12 months at the agreement of both parties. ### Lot Information Lot LOT-0000 Renewal: Option to extend for 2 x 12 month periods on the agreement of both parties ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/085101-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | 16 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2026 - 30 Nov 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £600,000 | | Lots value | £600,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FALMOUTH EXETER PLUS | | Locality | PENRYN, CORNWALL | | Postcode area | Truro | | Postcode | TR10 9FE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Constantine, Mabe & Mawnan | | Westminster constituency | Camborne and Redruth | | Delivery location | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 31625200 - Fire-alarm systems - 35111000 - Firefighting equipment - 35111300 - Fire extinguishers - 35111500 - Fire suppression system - 39525400 - Fire blankets - 44480000 - Miscellaneous fire-protection equipment - 50413200 - Repair and maintenance services of firefighting equipment ## Release History - 8 Sep 2026 at 17:01 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/085101-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/085101-2026 8th September 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://fxplus.ac.uk/ - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=108881&TID100113936&B= - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
