04Fire safety contracts: common questions
How many fire safety tenders are live in the UK?
33 right now, from 31 public buyers, with 14 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in fire safety contracts?
Where a minimum turnover is stated (1 of the 33 notices we have read), it is typically £200k. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win fire safety contracts?
Often, yes. 23 of the 33 live tenders in the UK are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 9 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Security & fire
Guarding contracts usually require SIA-licensed staff and often SIA Approved Contractor status. For CCTV, alarms and fire systems, buyers commonly look for NSI or SSAIB approval, or BAFE for fire. Check these early: they take months to get.
