04Fire safety contracts: common questions
How many fire safety tenders are live in the East of England?
5 right now, from 5 public buyers, with 4 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?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. 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. 4 of the 5 live tenders in the East of England are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 1 is a framework or dynamic purchasing system (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.
