## Description
The project is for the provision of Fire Alarm Services – PSNI Estate. 
The Supplier will be responsible for the routine maintenance on the following assets:
•	Fire Alarm Systems
•	Gas Suppression Systems
•	Sprinkler Systems
•	Disabled Refuge Systems 
The Supplier will be responsible for the maintenance of fire alarm systems in accordance with BS5839-1:2017.  Current systems include L1 to L4 categories, approximately 50 highly sensitive aspirating smoke detection systems and sprinkler/watermist type systems. 
The Supplier will also be responsible for the maintenance of sprinkler systems at three sites in accordance with BS EN 12845. 
The service shall be made available 24 hours per day and 365 days per year or 366 days per leap year (including all weekends and holiday periods).
In addition to the above maintenance requirements, the Supplier will on occasions be asked to supply, install and maintain additional assets such as those listed above.
In accordance with Schedule 8, paragraph 1 of the Procurement Act 2023, a number of scenarios or options are allowed for in the contract, including, an increase in annual budgets over and above that anticipated, an increase in the volume of task orders/assets over and above that anticipated, inflationary uplifts and, following an initial contract period of three years, the option of two further two year extensions.  In each of these scenarios or options, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to modify the contracts accordingly and the modifications shall be in accordance with the conditions of contract, Scope and the rates and Prices provided at Tender Stage including any contractual inflationary uplifts.  Further details of how each of these scenarios and options will be dealt with are included in the Tender Stage Documentation. 
Similarly, in accordance with Schedule 8, paragraphs 5 to 7 of the Procurement Act 2023, a change in legislation is considered to be a known risk which may materialise during the term of this contract and require a contract modification.  It is considered that this could jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the contract in that, the appointed Supplier is responsible for maintaining the PSNI estate and, because any increase, changes or amendments are not known, they cannot be addressed in the contract as awarded.
