Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for fire remediation works was managed by Aster Group Limited, headquartered in Devizes, England, under the title "Fire Remediation Works for Aster Group." This project aimed at fire compartmentation, fire door repairs, renewal, and associated fire stopping works required across various properties. The procurement was categorised in the works industry, specifically relating to fire doors and fire-prevention installation works, and was designated under the CPV code 44221220. Geographically, the works were intended for regions including the East of England, London, South East, and South West, United Kingdom. The process began as a tender and has now progressed to the award stage with a completion date in April 2026. The contract, valued at £1.6 million, will run from 27th April 2026 to 26th April 2028, following a selective procurement method executed via a call-off from the LHC Building and Fire Safety Framework, Lot WS4A.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for organisations experienced in fire safety works, including SMEs and VCSEs. Companies specialised in fire-proofing, extinguishing equipment installation, and passive fire protection installations are well-suited to compete, benefiting from potential long-term engagement as demonstrated by the two-year contract period. The awarded contractor, Ian Williams Limited, a large-scale enterprise, underscores the need for established expertise. Successfully competing in this space can enhance a company’s portfolio, broaden its client base, and reinforce its presence in the fire safety market across key UK regions.
