EVOTEC (Evo-Tec Installation Ltd)

What EVOTEC (Evo-Tec Installation Ltd) does

EVOTEC (Evo-Tec Installation Ltd) is a UK-based fire safety and electronic security systems integrator, founded in 2017 by Andy Tamkus and headquartered in Salisbury, Wiltshire. The company designs, installs, commissions and maintains fire alarm systems, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, fire curtains and disabled refuge systems alongside intruder alarms, IP and analogue CCTV with video analytics (VCA) and access control. Service delivery draws on third-party hardware brands (Advanced MX Pro, Orisec, Texecom, Honeywell, Paxton, Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Bosch and others) rather than proprietary products, augmented by an in-house automated CCTV health-monitoring layer and a SIMPRO-powered customer portal that gives clients real-time access to service reports, certificates, invoices and maintenance schedules.

Revenue mechanics combine one-time installation projects (deposited 50-75% on signing with balance on handover) with minimum one-year, auto-renewing maintenance contracts and recurring ARC remote-monitoring subscriptions; a consolidation offering takes over clients' existing fire and security systems from prior providers under a single multi-discipline contract. Pricing is quote-based with no public rates.

The go-to-market is consultative field sales — free site surveys followed by detailed proposals — targeting primarily education (schools, academies, multi-academy trusts) and commercial clients in Salisbury, Andover and the wider South West (Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset), with on-request UK-wide coverage. Distribution is reinforced by approved-supplier status on the EverythingFM public sector framework and the NHS approved-supplier list. NSI Gold, BAFE and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, plus the 2025 Salisbury & District Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year award, anchor trust signals. With a team of approximately 12 employees and no external funding, EVOTEC operates as a tightly scoped, accreditation-led regional trade services business.

Revenue model

1. System Installation Services: One-time revenue from the design, installation, and commissioning of fire safety and electronic security systems (intruder alarms, CCTV, access control, fire alarms, emergency lighting, etc.). Installation charges are structured in two parts: 50–75% deposit upon signing, balance upon system handover. The company provides full systems specification documents and certificates upon installation.
2. Maintenance Contracts: Recurring revenue from ongoing maintenance contracts covering fire and security systems. Contracts run for a minimum of one year from installation/takeover and automatically renew until terminated by either party with 60 days' notice. Maintenance visits are conducted according to relevant British Standards (PD 6662, BS 9263, BS EN 50131, BS 5839, BAFE schemes). Maintenance charges can be adjusted annually with prior client notification.
3. Monitoring Services: Remote monitoring services via Alarm Receiving Centres (ARC) for police response and keyholder notification. Connected via phone line or GSM communicator. Additional fees apply for call-outs not covered under warranty or included in maintenance contracts. Preferred call-out rates apply to customers with valid maintenance contracts.
4. System Takeover and Consolidation Services: Revenue from taking over existing fire and security systems from previous providers for ongoing maintenance and monitoring. The company consolidates multiple service providers for clients under a single contract, reducing costs, site visits, and service records.

Broad incumbents

• ADT UK: Well-known UK security brand offering intruder alarms, CCTV, and smart security with professional monitoring services. Comparable on monitored alarm installation and recurring monitoring revenue, though operating at much larger national scale than EVOTEC.
• Chubb Fire & Security: Global fire detection, suppression, intruder alarm, CCTV, and access control provider with significant UK presence. Comparable because it offers the same full fire-and-security lifecycle (design, install, service, monitoring) across enterprise and public-sector accounts that EVOTEC targets.
• Marlowe Fire & Security: UK national fire and security services provider owned by Marlowe plc, offering fire alarm, intruder alarm, CCTV, and access control installation and maintenance. Directly comparable as a much larger incumbent delivering the same consolidated fire-and-security service model EVOTEC pitches to commercial and public-sector clients.
• Secom plc: Major UK security services company providing intruder alarms, CCTV, access control, and fire detection with ARC monitoring. Closely comparable as an installer/integrator with a recurring monitoring revenue model targeting commercial and public-sector customers.
• Verisure: European leader in professionally monitored alarm systems with established UK presence. Comparable on the monitored intruder-alarm subscription model and 24/7 ARC response that EVOTEC also offers, though Verisure is much larger and predominantly residential/SMB focused.
• Mitie Security: Major UK facilities management company with a dedicated security division offering manned guarding, CCTV monitoring, and integrated security services. Comparable as it bundles security services into broader FM contracts — directly competing with EVOTEC's consolidation value proposition for enterprise and public-sector buyers.
• Banham Group: Long-established London-based UK security company offering locks, intruder alarms, CCTV, and access control. Comparable in security system installation and maintenance for premium residential and commercial customers, with overlapping brand and accreditation positioning.
