## Summary

Bournemouth University bought P50 fire extinguishers, with a 10-year warranty covering issues that could affect their operation during that period. This is a supply contract for fire safety equipment, rather than a maintenance or installation service. The extinguishers were for delivery in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify a more specific delivery location. The university is the buying organisation. The purchase was grouped as a single lot and concerns the provision of extinguishers as goods.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SAFELINCS LIMITED. Bournemouth University used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2036. Its gross value is £34,650. The award is recorded as active. One lot was awarded, with the selected supplier responsible for supplying the P50 fire extinguishers. The available procurement details do not set out a separate scoring formula or evaluation criteria, so the precise basis for comparing competing offers is not reported.

For a supplier hoping to compete when Bournemouth University next buys this requirement, the relevant capability is supplying P50 fire extinguishers backed by a 10-year warranty that covers faults affecting their operation. This award shows demand for a straightforward supply of fire safety equipment, rather than a wider fire-safety service. A credible competitor would need to source and deliver compliant extinguishers and stand behind the warranty across its full term, with the capacity to support the buyer over a long-running commitment. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized business, demonstrating that this contract was delivered by an SME. The procurement route was limited competition, so suppliers seeking similar work should be prepared to compete through a restricted process.
