## Summary

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured fire-alarm improvement works for its Penrose building. The requirement falls within fire and burglar alarm systems (CPV 31625000). The work was for the College, based in Egham, and the delivery location is recorded in England. The procurement was a single-lot requirement, awarded to Rhino Fire Control Limited. The stated scope is limited to the Penrose fire improvement; the award information does not break this down into particular equipment, installation tasks or building areas. This is a facilities and fire-safety requirement for suppliers able to deliver improvements to fire alarm systems in a university setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Royal Holloway and Bedford New College selected Rhino Fire Control Limited following requests for quotations, using a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 10 September to 8 October 2026. Its value is £45,671 excluding VAT and £54,805 including VAT. The award covers one lot and names Rhino Fire Control Limited as the supplier. The published procurement information does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or participation requirements. The stated route was quotation-based limited competition; no further award rationale or evaluation detail is recorded.

This award demonstrates demand at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College for fire-alarm improvement work at its Penrose building, procured through a limited competition based on requests for quotations. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show practical capability in improving fire alarm systems and the capacity to complete a focused project for a university site. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, indicating that this scale of requirement was deliverable by a smaller business. The published requirement does not describe specific technical accreditations, staffing levels or prior project experience, so there is no evidenced basis for treating any particular certification or larger delivery team as necessary. Suppliers with relevant fire-alarm installation or improvement expertise and experience working in operational institutional buildings are closest to the demonstrated requirement.
