Fire Safety Products Supply & Service
Framework Description
Fire Safety Products (Supply & Service) is a Scotland Excel framework agreement made available to APUC member institutions. It has two lots: supply and delivery of fire safety equipment including signage, and service, repair and maintenance of fire safety equipment. Applications for this framework are closed, and it runs to 8 October 2027, with no extension option.
Context & Use Case
Councils, universities and colleges use it to buy fire extinguishers, signage and related equipment, and to keep that equipment inspected and serviced. Buyers with large, multi-building estates rely on the service lot for annual inspections and repairs across many buildings. The same appointed suppliers serve council and university buyers alike.
Scope of Services
Supply and delivery of fire safety equipment, including signage Service, repair and maintenance of fire safety equipment Fire extinguishers and related equipment Inspection and testing of fire safety equipment
Lots
Supply and Delivery of Fire Safety Equipment including Signage; Service, Repair and Maintenance of Fire Safety Equipment
Who Can Apply
Suits fire safety equipment suppliers and fire protection service companies with engineers covering Scotland. Applications for this framework are closed, so suppliers not already appointed cannot join until Scotland Excel re-tenders it, likely before 8 October 2027.
Buyer Benefits
Fire safety equipment is a legal requirement, and buyers need assurance that suppliers and engineers meet the relevant standards. A Scotland Excel framework provides that with agreed prices, and separate supply and service lots let buyers choose specialist service providers.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should make sure university estates and health and safety teams know they can use the framework. Others should check Public Contracts Scotland (original notice NOV492298) and Scotland Excel's schedule for the replacement, likely during 2027, and prepare accreditations, engineer coverage and service response data.
How Athena Can Help
Fire safety tenders depend on accreditation and coverage evidence. Athena's compliance-focused bid writing sets this out clearly and runs a final check before submission.
