The purpose is to bring these services together in a single facilities contract and keep the systems operating effectively. The requirement covers maintenance of all equipment listed in the technical specification; suppliers must be able to service the full range rather than only one system type. This is a facilities maintenance service, covering fire and security alarm systems and access controls. The buyer is the education organisation UHI North, West and Hebrides, based in Thurso. The delivery area is identified as Highlands and Islands in Scotland. The buyer invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. The requirement is for one contractor under a single lot, with bids required to cover all listed equipment; variants are not allowed. The tender submission deadline and scheduled bid opening are both 17 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 720 days. The stated estimated value is £140,000. The evaluation period is scheduled to begin at the deadline. The published procurement information does not give a more detailed evaluation weighting or selection threshold. Responses are to be submitted electronically, and bids must be in English. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. This opportunity is best suited to a fire and security systems maintenance contractor able to deliver planned servicing and reactive call-outs across fire alarms, intruder alarms and access-control equipment. The buyer requires a single provider capable of maintaining every item in the equipment schedule, so a specialist in only one system area would not meet the stated requirement. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the operational breadth and workforce capacity to handle a combined facilities-maintenance contract over its full term. Technical questions and a technical specification form part of the tender material, making delivery capability across the listed systems central to the bid. The contract may suit an established regional provider or a business able to mobilise and maintain coverage in the Highlands and Islands. No particular accreditation is stated in the available procurement information. ## Notice UHI North, West & Hebrides are seeking to appoint a single contractor to fulfil the requirement for Planned and Reactive Maintenance - Fire & Intruder Alarms & Access Controls systems under one facilities contract allowing the services to run more efficiently and effectively.
