Summary of the contracting process

Berneslai Homes Limited commissioned an independent assurance review of the proposed schedule of works for high-rise residential accommodation in Barnsley. The requirement concerns passive fire protection and fire-prevention services, focused on critically reviewing whether the planned works are appropriate for high-rise flats. The work is a professional consultancy and assurance service rather than construction delivery itself. It is relevant to fire-safety consultants, passive fire-protection specialists and organisations experienced in reviewing schedules of works for high-rise housing. The buyer is Berneslai Homes Limited, based in Barnsley, and the service is delivered in Barnsley. The procurement identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 10 August 2026 to Harmony Fire Limited for £93,600. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 13 February 2027. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026. The requirement was treated as a services contract and classified under fire-prevention services. The award covers one requirement for an independent review of the proposed schedule of works for high-rise flats. The published outcome records Harmony Fire Limited as the selected supplier and shows the award as active. The process was conducted by Berneslai Homes Limited.

This award demonstrates demand from Berneslai Homes for independent scrutiny of passive fire-protection work in high-rise residential buildings. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need demonstrable expertise in fire prevention, passive fire protection and the assurance or critical review of proposed schedules of works. Relevant capability would include assessing whether planned measures are suitable for high-rise housing, identifying risks or gaps in proposed works, and producing clear, independent professional advice for a housing provider. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of specialist assurance work can be delivered by a focused smaller business. Experience combining technical fire-safety knowledge with robust review and reporting would be important when this requirement returns to market.
