Enterprise Alarm Upgrade
Tender Overview
About this tender
DOC's alarm systems are currently fragmented across its nationwide estate, with ageing technologies, inconsistent standards, and limited visibility, creating challenges for support, integration, and assurance. This procurement seeks a nationally standardised, enterprise-grade alarm solution to support a phased, multi-year refresh programme, with supplier proposals helping to inform future rollout planning, cost modelling, and investment decisions. DOC is not taking questions at this time. Future Procurement Opportunities are to advise the market of potential upcoming opportunities which may or may not be progressed. If the project is progressed, you will be notified. Any further information about this opportunity will be available if/when we go to market.

Confirm you are eligible and it is worth bidding
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Answer every criterion with evidence
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Lodge early through the official portal
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
