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. 1 of the 3 live tenders in Northern Ireland are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses. 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.
