## Summary

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has concluded a procurement process concerning the "Replacement Fire Alarm Panels at Glasgow Royal Infirmary." Falling under the Health industry category, the contract was awarded to ADT Fire & Security, a large-scale supplier. This contract involves installing a category L1 fire alarm system to ensure compliance with legislation and enhance safety within the hospital. The procurement method employed was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to ADT's unique ability to manage the current infrastructure. The procurement process is in the award stage as of 14 August 2025, with the contract active and valued at £164,000. The project's location is in Glasgow, specifically at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialised in fire protection systems, particularly those familiar with complex health sector environments or suppliers that can retrofit advanced safety systems. Companies with expertise in fire safety technology and installations that demand precision within hospital settings are well-suited for such contracts. This tender reflects opportunities for businesses to leverage specialised skills in systems upgrades and maintenance, securing long-term relationships with significant public sector bodies and possibly participating in similar future projects. The direct award to ADT highlights the importance of proprietary technological expertise in securing such contracts.

## Notice

Following on from recent works completed by ADT/JC at GRI to modify and upgrade the Old Royal fire alarm system further works are required to install a category L1 system. These works will ensure compliance with current legislation and SHTM 82 which states category L1 system should be provided throughout all parts of hospital premises. A fire alarm system is an important life safe system and category L1 provides the earliest possible warning of fire, so as far to achieve the longest available time for escape. Acute hospital settings include in-pateint areas, high dependency, vulnerable occupants in a high risk environment where early warning is essential to preserve life and maximise time to carry out an evacuation. Johnston controls/ADT have successfully completed site wide modification and renewal works in recent years and also provide on going maintenance and support for fire detection systems within the GRI and have on-site support and extensive knowledge of these systems. Due to the size and complexity of the site Johnston Controls are best equipped to provide the installation support for the upgrade to category L1. The reason this requirement has been published as a VEAT in addition to above is that ADT are thought to be the only company that can access the current closed protocol panels and upload them to the new open protocol panels.

### Procurement Information

Due to the size and nature of the fire alarm system ADT are thought be the only service provider who could provide the installation. ADT are thought to be the only company that can access the current closed protocol panels and upload then to the new open protocol panels. Therefore the best course of action to insure compliance with procurement regulations, and ensure the continued maintenance of these systems, is to publish a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice. NHSGGC will publish a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice on PCS. In accordance with: 'The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, SSI 2015/446 1 91(7)(a)' , this will be published to protect NHSGGC against the risk of an ineffectiveness challenge to the lawful direct award of a contract. Additionally and in line with the practices of: Fairness; Openness and Transparency; the publication of this VEAT Notice has been balanced against the risk that publication of this VEAT Notice may, in fact, increase awareness of the proposed direct award and increase the risk of challenge. A VEAT was the best legal procurement route to take because the disruption as a result of installing a new system would be significant and would have wide reaching consequences impacting: Staff; Patients and Services. The contract will be in place until the 31/03/2026
