What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council has a statutory duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 to ensure that all properties under its control are suitably maintained to ensure that they are safe and without risk to health to both employees and members of the public.

A number of the Council’s Public Buildings are fitted with Intruder Alarms, Fire Alarms, and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) systems. The maintenance of these systems ensure that they remain serviceable to assist in the protection of the users of the properties.

The Council does not have in-house resources suitably trained to carry out the regular maintenance of these systems therefore an external contractor is employed for this purpose.

Along with regular maintenance the contract will include for the provision of a 24/7 reactive repair service and a 24/7 alarm monitoring service where appropriate.

The alarm monitoring service will cover both fire and intruder alarm activations. The monitoring of CCTV systems will not be within the scope of this contract and will remain in-house.

This contract will be managed by Facilities Management (Support Services) who are responsible for the delivery of repairs and maintenance services for all Council owned properties.

Question for the bid
This buyerRenfrewshire Council · division 50
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

How often small and medium firms win.

Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 4 of 5 known-size awards · market: division 50 · Scotland, n=258
80%67%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

How often local firms win similar work.

Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.

Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Scotland.

A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 4 of 5 known-location awards · market: division 50 · Scotland, n=234
80%74%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.

How long to a decision?
i

How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.

Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.

Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: no decision dates published · market: division 50 · UK-wide, n=499
—54 days

Half of these awards have an award date within 54 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
