Alarm Tenders and Contracts

See open alarm tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Alarm tenders cover intruder and burglar alarm systems, alarm monitoring and alarm receiving centres. Coverage also extends to telecare and personal alarms, warden call systems and disabled refuge alarms bought for sheltered and supported housing.

Councils, housing associations, NHS trusts and universities are the main buyers of alarm services. Most contracts cover servicing and maintenance rather than one-off installs. Telecare and alarm receiving centre buying often runs as call-offs from the ESPO technology enabled care framework, Procurement for Housing's technologies for independent living framework and Scotland Excel's shared alarm receiving centre framework.

  • What counts as an alarm contract?

    Alarm tenders cover intruder and burglar alarm systems, alarm monitoring services and alarm receiving centres (ARCs), plus the smoke alarm and lone worker alarm supply and servicing contracts that councils and housing associations run under the same alarm heading. Fire detection and suppression work that is not tied to an alarm system sits on a separate page.

  • Which CPV codes cover UK alarm tenders?

    The most common codes are 79711000 (Alarm-monitoring services), 35121700 (Alarm systems), 31625000 (Burglar and fire alarms), 31625300 (Burglar-alarm systems), 45312200 (Burglar-alarm system installation work) and 50610000 (Repair and maintenance services of security equipment). Buyers often combine several of these under one servicing or monitoring contract.

  • Who buys alarm systems and monitoring contracts?

    Councils, housing associations, NHS trusts, police and fire services, and universities run the bulk of alarm tenders, typically for intruder alarm servicing, alarm receiving centre monitoring, or smoke alarm replacement across a housing stock.

  • How long do alarm service and monitoring contracts run?

    Most alarm contracts run one to three years, with monitoring and PPM frameworks stretching to four years on some awards. Short call-off or one-off installation work can run a few months.

  • How do I find alarm contracts before they are formally tendered?

    Read building safety and security programmes, risk assessments, servicing cycles and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show alarm work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
