car parks. The system is used is a Category L5 system in accordance with BS5839:2017 and has been agreed with the local authority's building control team together with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service as suitable for implementation.

TfGM have a supplier that provides services to its various fire alarm systems and it was decided, due to the timeliness of these requirements and due to the estimated value of the works being below threshold, to direct award this contract to that supplier.
