The anticipated scope combines maintaining the current UPS systems, carrying out on-site maintenance checks every six months, providing round-the-clock remote monitoring throughout the year, and producing monthly reports on system status. The procurement is categorised as goods, but the described requirement includes ongoing maintenance and monitoring services. Work is for East Ayrshire Council in East Ayrshire, including Kilmarnock. This is at the planning stage: the council is conducting market testing and gathering information from potential UPS suppliers, not inviting tenders. The council expects to publish a subsequent notice on 1 December 2026. Companies interested in taking part in this market engagement were asked to send an expression of interest by 31 October 2026; this is not a tender submission deadline. The planned procurement is presented as one lot. The engagement itself does not confer preferential treatment if the council proceeds to a tender. No procurement method, evaluation criteria, contract value or duration is set out at this stage. The requirement may suit UPS suppliers able to support and maintain installed systems while providing continuous remote monitoring and regular status reporting. Suppliers should be prepared to undertake scheduled on-site maintenance twice a year and provide monitoring coverage around the clock, every day of the year. The council is seeking to hear from potential suppliers as part of market testing, so businesses with relevant UPS servicing and monitoring capability may use the engagement to understand and inform the requirement before any future competition. The work spans both equipment-related supply and ongoing service delivery, making it relevant to providers able to manage those elements together. Participation in this preliminary exercise will not give a supplier preferential treatment in a later tender. ## Notice East Ayrshire Council (EAC) are looking to use this PIN exercise to engage with potential UPS suppliers, to maintain the current systems, carry out 6 monthly on-site maintenance checks, supply 24x7x365 remote monitoring of each system and to produce monthly reports on the status of each system. ### Lot Information Lot 1 East Ayrshire Council (EAC) are looking to use this PIN exercise to engage with potential UPS suppliers, to maintain the current systems, carry out 6 monthly on-site maintenance checks, supply 24x7x365 remote monitoring of each system and to produce monthly reports on the status of each system.
