Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council procured passive fire protection and building works to improve fire compartmentation and repair or replace fire doors. The requirements were identified through Fire Risk Assessments and are to be delivered largely according to the height and risk of blocks of flats, beginning with blocks four storeys high. This is a construction works opportunity covering fire compartmentation, passive fire protection and fire-door installation or repair. Delivery is in the South West of England, for the council’s housing stock and associated blocks of flats. The procurement’s classification covers construction structures, materials and related construction products, under CPV 44000000.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 October 2025 to Bell Group Limited. It used a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 29 August 2025 at noon. The awarded contract value is £1,458,804.21 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2027. The award is active and covers the full described requirement. Exeter City Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award was made to one supplier.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Exeter City Council for planned passive fire protection and fire-door works across residential blocks. Suppliers well placed for comparable future requirements would need practical capability in fire compartmentation improvement, passive fire protection, fire-door repair and replacement, and the ability to translate Fire Risk Assessment findings into delivered works. Experience of working across blocks of flats, particularly buildings of differing heights and risk profiles, would support credible delivery. Competitors would also need sufficient operational capacity to organise work on a block-by-block basis, manage work in occupied or residential settings where required, and demonstrate reliable construction delivery for a council housing environment. The requirement is suitable for SMEs.
