Summary of the contracting process

New College Durham procured quarterly fire door checks across all of its sites. This is fire door inspection and checking work, classified as building works. The named site is New College Durham’s Framwellgate Moor Campus in Durham; the description says the checks cover all New College Durham sites. The requirement is for recurring inspection visits rather than a one-off check, supporting fire door safety across the college estate.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Gladstone Fire Ltd on 30 September 2026. The award value is £11,368. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with quarterly checks during that period. The estimated procurement value was £60,000. It was run as an open procedure, with bids due by 22 September 2026. The process was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available information records no separate lots or evaluation scoring basis.

For suppliers competing when New College Durham next buys this requirement, the proven need is a planned programme of quarterly fire door checks across a multi-site college estate. A credible competitor would need to deliver reliable recurring visits, organise coverage across the college’s sites and demonstrate capability in inspecting fire doors. The selected supplier’s award shows that this buyer has used an open competition for the work and appointed a specialist fire company. The opportunity is modest in scale compared with major installation or construction packages, so firms able to resource regular checks efficiently, including smaller businesses, may be well placed. The stated requirement concerns checking fire doors; it does not establish a need for installation, repair or replacement work.
