Summary of the contracting process

The CLARION HOUSING GROUP LIMITED is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process under the title "Automatic opening vents/smoke control systems". This procurement process aims to establish multiple contracts for the maintenance and servicing of smoke control systems across England. The industry category is centred on "Repair and maintenance services of electrical building installations" and "Installation services of fire protection equipment". The process is being initiated through tender and is directed towards suppliers with a focus on small and medium-sized enterprises. The engagement end date for this procurement process is set for 23rd September 2025, offering an opportunity for interested parties to collaborate and refine procurement documents ahead of the formal tender notice.

This tender presents lucrative business growth opportunities for SMEs involved in the maintenance and servicing of electrical building installations, particularly those skilled in fire protection systems.

Engaging early through the market engagement phase can also provide businesses with insights into refining their offers to meet Clarion's national requirements effectively. Businesses that are well-suited to compete are those with experience and capability in servicing fire protection equipment and those keen on expanding their services to a national scale.
