Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured specialist fire engineer consultancy services for technical fire safety advice and guidance. The requirement covers fire-prevention services, including support from a specialist fire engineering contractor on compliance with fire regulations. It sits within construction consultancy, engineering and inspection services, with the practical focus on fire safety consultancy rather than construction delivery. The buyer is Hull City Council, based at the Guildhall in Hull. The stated service locations cover Hull and the United Kingdom, with the procurement data also identifying delivery across Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is therefore relevant to fire engineering consultancies able to advise a local authority across its property and construction-related activities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Firntec Ltd on 15 June 2026 following a restricted procedure and mini-competition under the EN Procure Construction Consultancy Services Framework Gen-4, Lot 12 for Fire Safety Consultant Services. The award value is £280,000, with a stated minimum value of £140,000. The contract runs from 22 June 2026 to 21 June 2028, with an option to extend for up to 24 months. The tender submission deadline was 16 April 2026 at 12:00. Firntec Ltd is the selected supplier and the award is active. The procurement was described as £70,000 per annum, with the stated total spend covering the contract requirement. It was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from Hull City Council for specialist fire engineering advice supporting regulatory compliance. A credible future competitor would need a specialist fire safety consultancy or fire engineering contracting capability, with practitioners able to provide authoritative technical advice and guidance on fire regulations. Experience of local-authority property, construction consultancy or engineering environments would be directly relevant, as would the capacity to support requirements delivered across a broad geographic area. The procurement route also shows that framework-based mini-competition experience matters: suppliers would need to understand construction consultancy frameworks, restricted competition processes and the requirements of a defined fire safety services lot. The buyer’s choice of a large supplier indicates that substantial organisational capacity may be important for comparable work.
