## Summary

Rotherham Borough Council procured the replacement of the fire alarm system at Rawmarsh Thorogate Junior and Infant School in Rotherham. The work covered installing a new fire alarm system and, once installation was complete, removing the redundant system. This is an electrical installation and building fire-safety project at a named school site, rather than a supply-only purchase. The requirement was treated as a single lot and relates to the school at postcode S62 7HS. The council is the buyer and the work is located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Findlays Electrical Limited. The buyer used below-threshold limited competition. The contract value is £47,319.60 including VAT. The contract period ran from 27 July to 28 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 27 July 2026. The buyer’s description says the actual signing date was 7 October 2026, conflicting with the structured contract date; the notice was published on that date. The stated work was evaluated and awarded as one lot. No award criteria or selection requirements are recorded in the procurement details.

For suppliers of commercial fire alarm and electrical installation work, this award provides a concrete example of Rotherham Borough Council buying a complete school fire-alarm replacement, including removal of the old system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver installation and removal as a coordinated job in an occupied education setting, with the practical capacity to complete a defined, relatively small site project within a short programme. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the work was delivered by an SME. Experience with fire alarm systems and electrical installation, and the ability to plan work around a school site, would be directly relevant. The council used limited competition for this below-threshold purchase, so suppliers should be alert to that route for comparable local requirements.
