    Brief

    The National Oceanography Centre is seeking to upgrade its fire alarm infrastructure across the Main Building and associated estate buildings. The scope of work includes replacing aging fire alarm control panels, repeater panels, backup batteries, power supplies, and field devices. The project also covers modifications to fire alarm loops operating near capacity, with full testing, commissioning, and certification of the upgraded system. This upgrade programme will address end-of-life equipment, improve system reliability and resilience, reduce maintenance requirements, and ensure compliance with current fire safety standards. The contract has been directly awarded to the incumbent supplier due to the critical nature of life-safety systems, the need to maintain compatibility with existing infrastructure, and the requirement to minimize operational disruption during the upgrade of a live system. Suppliers should have extensive experience with fire alarm systems and the ability to work with existing equipment while ensuring zero interruption to safety operations.
