How do I find alarm tenders in the UK public sector?

Search live alarm tenders on Stotles, or move earlier: read a buyer estates or facilities strategy for signs of an alarm system or monitoring retender before it opens.

What counts as an alarm contract on this page?

This page covers 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.
