What is being bought

Published requirement description

This framework is for the provision of undertaking the routine maintenance and monitoring of Intruder Alarm Systems. There are currently 478 properties covered by the existing arrangement.

For clarification purposes, Alarm Monitoring may include Intruder Alarms, Fire Alarms, Panic Alarms and Engineering Alarms within properties under the administration of Staffordshire County Council and its Contract Managing Agent.

This semi-comprehensive framework includes the following elements within the tendered service rate:

i) 2 evenly spaced service visits per annum

ii) 24/7 Monitoring for all aforementioned alarms if required.

iii) Attendance to all callouts for items covered by this framework

iv) All labour, materials and components for breakdowns, with the exception of the components and associated labour excluded in section 'Contract Exclusions'.

Responsive Maintenance

Please note this is a Single Supplier Framework.

    Valid and compliant member of an independent pre-qualification accrediting body. For example, Constructionline (accredited to a minimum membership level of 'SILVER') or other equivalent bodies, offer such a service.

    Note 1 - the accrediting bodies must allow for annual refreshes/vetting of the Supplier in the areas above

    Note 2 - where brand names are mentioned, the Authority will consider equivalents

    Note 3 - evidence of the above accreditations MUST be provided to the Authority by successful Supplier prior to Contract Award

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework Agreement for the Provision of Undertaking the Routine…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
