Official UK procurement notice
Sheltered Housing Analogue Alarm Upgrade Project
Authority: Cambridge City Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionIMPORTANT: Due to a technical issue with the FTS service at the date of launch of the procurement, the contracting authority was not able to publish a Tender Notice on the platform.
This procurement was conducted as an Open Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 following the publication of the following notices:
UK 2 PME Notice Published - 2 December 2025
Date of PME session - 17 December 2025
ProContract published 30 January 2026
Site Visits - 3 & 4 February 2026
Therefore, the reference to Direct Award under the heading "Procedure" above is not correct.
The tender documents were made available to potential suppliers when the procurement was launched on ProContract and stated that the open procedure would be followed. All potential suppliers participated on that basis. The contracting authority (Cambridge City Council) carried out the procurement in accordance with the published tender documents.
The contracting authority is unable to publish a Contract Award Notice due to technical limitations on the FTS system. This notice is therefore being issued pursuant to Sections 50 and 95 of the Procurement Act 2023 and Regulation 27 of the Procurement Regulations 2024.
