Fire Protection Systems — Public Tenders

Fire protection systems include fire alarm systems (BMA), fire extinguishing systems, smoke and heat extraction systems (RWA) and sprinkler systems in public buildings. Installation, maintenance and modernisation of these safety-critical systems are tendered regularly. Requirements are rising due to stricter fire protection regulations and the refurbishment of older existing buildings.

Typical tenders in fire protection systems

  • Installation of a fire alarm system in a new school building
  • Maintenance and servicing of fire alarm systems across all properties of a rural district
  • Replacement of the sprinkler system in a hospital
  • Retrofitting of smoke and heat extraction systems in a historic building
  • Installation of a gas extinguishing system in a data centre of public administration
  • Fire-protection upgrade of an existing building under the new state building code

Relevant CPV codes

Challenges in finding tenders

Depending on the contracting authority, fire protection systems are tendered as construction works (installation, build-out) or as services (maintenance, inspection). The classification affects which procurement regime applies (VOB/A vs. VgV). Companies must therefore search in both categories.

In addition, fire protection services are often subsumed under the umbrella term "technical building services" or "safety technology". Specific fire-protection lots are then only identifiable from the lot structure in the tender documents.

How BOND helps with fire protection systems tenders

  • Dual-category search captures both construction and service tenders
  • Building services lot extraction identifies fire-protection lots in complex building-services tenders
  • Standards and code filter highlights relevant DIN and VDE requirements
  • Existing-building monitoring detects refurbishment tenders with a fire-protection component
