The framework is divided into two lots: maintenance of mains- or pump-fed sprinkler systems, and maintenance of mains-fed ICO water-mist sprinkler systems. The requirement is for fire-safety system maintenance and repair services, including sprinkler systems (CPV 50413200). Delivery is in South Ayrshire. The Council plans to appoint one provider to each lot, with suppliers able to bid for either or both where they have the relevant experience, capacity and accreditation. Community benefits form part of the requirement. The Council invited offers through an open procedure for a multi-lot framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the stated bid opening time was the same. Each lot has a contract period of 720 days, with renewal described as “+1 +1”. No estimated contract value is stated. Award is based on 80% price and 20% quality. Bids must be submitted electronically, in English, and variants are not allowed. The procurement identifies separate lots for mains/pump-fed sprinklers and mains-fed ICO water-mist sprinklers. The framework is stated to recur in September 2030. This opportunity is suited to fire-protection contractors with established capability in inspecting, servicing and maintaining sprinkler installations in domestic and residential buildings. Suppliers must be able to demonstrate the experience and operational capacity to deliver the lot or lots they bid for. For all lots, bidders must hold, or commit to obtain before the framework begins, accreditation from the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association, the Fire Protection Association and the Residential Sprinkler Association. Suppliers bidding for the ICO water-mist sprinkler lot must also hold IFC Certification, or equivalent certification, for servicing and maintaining water-mist sprinklers. One provider is intended for each lot, so specialist firms may compete for a single system type while broader providers can pursue both. Community benefits are part of the requirement. ## Notice Servicing & Maintenance of Fire Suppression Systems Framework Agreement ### Lot Information Servicing & Maintenance of Mains/Pump Fed Sprinkler systems in Domestic/Residential Properties South Ayrshire Council (The Council) has a requirement to establish a multi provider, multi-lot Framework Agreement for Servicing and Maintenance of Fire Suppression Systems in Domestic & Non-Domestic Properties.
