The Provision of a Planned Maintenance Service for Alarm Systems and Emergency Lighting

Buckinghamshire Council is seeking an experienced supplier to deliver its Planned Maintenance Service for Alarm Systems and Emergency Lighting.

This service includes the provision of the following elements:

Statutory Compliance

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) for Alarm Systems and Emergency Lighting

Single Point of Contact and Emergency 24/7 Call Out Facility

The services will be delivered at the following property types: Corporate Estate, Maintained and Non- BC Schools, External (non- BC) Clients, Agricultural Estate, County Parks Estate.

Reactive and minor works are NOT provided under this contract.

The Council requires a supplier that appreciates that the expectation and priorities of the service are unique to each type of property and thus will adopt an approach that is property specific.

Following the formal unification of 5 former councils (namely Buckinghamshire County Council, Aylesbury Vale District Council, Chiltern District Council, South Bucks District Council and Wycombe District Council) in April 2020, the Buckinghamshire Council has a large and diverse estate and ongoing changes will invariably occur to a number of properties during the contract term. The successful supplier will therefore be able to provide flexible and transparently delivered services, which will enable these changes to occur during the contract term.

Suppliers must be registered with the appropriate confederation or association related to the respective trades involved, eg: NICEIC or ECA. In addition suppliers must hold valid and current certification with an SSIP member scheme or have an OHSAS 18001 certificate from a UKAS accredited certification body and have been assessed for working with electrical services.

The contract start date is anticipated to be 1st October 2023. The initial term will be for three years with an option to extend for a further 24 months.
