Fire Extinguishers Tenders and Contracts

Fire extinguisher tenders cover the supply, installation, servicing, testing and maintenance of fire extinguishers. Related equipment such as fire alarms and fire detection systems can be covered in the same notice.

Stotles brings together fire extinguisher tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Extinguisher servicing is often let as a lot inside fire safety maintenance contracts, and supply is called off from consortium frameworks.

Fire extinguisher tenders are scored on price per unit or visit, engineer competence, scheduling and reporting, and response to defects. Servicing is often bundled with alarms and emergency lighting, so a wider fire safety offer helps.

Portable extinguishers must be serviced to BS 5306-3, and buyers often expect BAFE SP101 registration. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Some are stand-alone extinguisher servicing contracts. Others sit as one lot inside a broader fire safety, facilities management or planned maintenance contract covering alarms, detection and suppression systems too.

Councils, NHS trusts, housing associations, universities and fire and rescue services are among the buyers. Any public body responsible for a building estate needs extinguishers supplied, checked and certified.

Read fire safety maintenance schedules, annual servicing cycles, estates planned maintenance programmes and expiry dates for existing servicing contracts, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
