Fire Alarm Inspections, Testing and Service

The Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centre for Education is soliciting proposals for the provision of comprehensive fire alarm system inspections, testing, and service across its portfolio of approximately 40 buildings totaling over 2.5 million square feet. This three-year contract, with an option to extend for two additional one-year terms, requires a qualified service provider to ensure ongoing compliance and operational reliability of fire alarm systems throughout the district. The work is currently performed in-house by the CBVRCE Operations Department, and this solicitation aims to transition the responsibility to an external partner capable of delivering consistent, code-compliant maintenance and emergency system testing. All tender documents and updates must be accessed through the Nova Scotia Procurement Portal, as amendments may not be reflected on CanadaBuys, and third-party platform registration or fees may be necessary to view or submit responses. The solicitation is issued under reference number 2026-06CBVRCE, with a response deadline of June 18, 2026, and was posted on May 25, 2026. The contracting authority is Moules Kevin, reachable via email at cbvrcepurchasing@gnspes.ca or by phone at 902-562-6025. There are no costs associated with acquiring the tender documents, and no set-aside provisions are in place. The contract does not involve federal procurement under a specific NAICS code, and while the agency is listed as the Government of Canada, the actual contracting entity is the Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centre for Education, a regional educational authority within Nova Scotia. Proposals must align with the specific technical, operational, and compliance requirements outlined in the full tender documentation.
