## Summary

Ipswich Borough Council is seeking servicing and maintenance of fire safety equipment across its housing stock. The work covers fire-prevention systems and equipment, including maintenance and installation services for fire protection equipment (CPV 45343000). Delivery is in Ipswich, Suffolk. This is a service contract for suppliers able to maintain fire safety systems in council housing; the council is the buyer and the housing stock is the intended service setting.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The contract is valued at £180,000 excluding VAT (£216,000 including VAT). Suppliers could submit enquiries until 22 October 2026 at 14:00 and bids by 5 November 2026 at 11:00. The stated contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028, with two 12-month renewal options and a maximum end date of 30 November 2030. The council expected to decide on the award by 1 December 2026. There is one lot. Evaluation gives 60% weighting to price and 40% to quality, under the criterion named Fire Safety Service & Maintenance.

This opportunity is suited to fire safety contractors with the technical capability and operational capacity to service and maintain fire safety equipment across housing stock. Suppliers should be able to deliver the relevant fire-prevention and fire-protection maintenance work, and demonstrate a credible quality approach alongside competitive pricing, since quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation. The requirement may also suit firms able to provide installation services for fire protection equipment as part of their wider service capability. The council housing setting calls for suppliers experienced in maintaining systems across residential properties and managing ongoing service obligations over a multi-year contract, including potential extensions.
