The contract encompasses services to thirty sites across mainland Scotland, extending from the Borders to Angus. The procurement followed an open procedure, with a focus on services categorized under housing and community amenities. Although this contract was initially active, it was eventually cancelled, as noted in the most recent update. Key dates included an amendment to accommodate Easter holidays and site visits, changing the tender submission deadline to 28th April 2026. Despite its cancellation, such tenders present lucrative opportunities for businesses specializing in fire safety services, particularly those with technical competence and compliance. The Cairn Housing Association, acting as a central purchasing body, indicated a preference for electronic submissions, showcasing modern procurement practices. Vendors with a strong track record in safety system maintenance across geographical locations and adept at managing extensive asset sites would find such contracts aligned with their business capabilities, potentially leading to further growth and diversifications within the field of community amenities. Furthermore, contracts fostering electronic invoicing and payment could enhance operational efficiencies for tech-savvy businesses. ## Notice Fire alarm, emergency lighting an fire extinguisher maintenance services to the thirty sites across Scotland listed in the Schedule of Assets. ### Lot Information Lot 1 As per appended Invitation to Tender Renewal: Maximum possible extension period = 24 months (3+1+1 years) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552515 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 17 Apr 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Mar 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAIRN HOUSING ASSOCIATION | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH7 4GH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Leith Walk | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50413200 - Repair and maintenance services of firefighting equipment ## Release History - 25 Mar 2026 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552515 - 24 Mar 2026 at 00:00 - TenderUpdate - OJEU - F14 - Corrigendum - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552371 - 20 Mar 2026 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552195 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=MAR552195&idx=1 20th March 2026 - Sample Floor Plans - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=MAR552195&idx=2 20th March 2026 - Tender Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552195 MAINTENANCE CONTRACT - FIRE ALARMS, EMERGENCY LIGHTING and FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, 2026-29 - Fire alarm, emergency lighting an fire extinguisher maintenance services to the thirty sites across Scotland listed in the Schedule of Assets. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552515 MAINTENANCE CONTRACT - FIRE ALARMS, EMERGENCY LIGHTING and FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, 2026-29 - Fire alarm, emergency lighting an fire extinguisher maintenance services to the thirty sites across Scotland listed in the Schedule of Assets. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.cairnha.com - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000827206 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
