Published requirement description

Salvation Army Homes are looking to procure Contractors for the delivery of their Fire Safety Servicing and Maintenance Contracts. The opportunity is split into eight geographic Lots. Full details of the required services are included within the procurement documents.

The estimated annual contract value does not take into account annual indexation considerations or VAT.

It is intended that the contract will run for a period of three years with the option for renewal, as decided by Salvation Army Homes, for an extension of up to a further two years, followed by another two years, subject to satisfactory reviews. The maximum duration of the contract is therefore seven years. The contract value in this notice is therefore subject to review and is not guaranteed, as this is based upon the maximum term.

supplier not published—13 Feb 2026CancelledSince the publication of the Tender Notice in relation to these Contracts, Salvation Army Homes have undertaken a formal restructure of their Asset Team. As a result of this restructure, Salvation Army Homes have determined that the structure of the Lots set out within the Tender Notice is no longer appropriate to the requirements of the organisation. As such, this procurement is being terminated and a new procurement is intended to be initiated in the coming weeks, which will reflect the revised distribution of regional patches across the restructured Asset Team.
