Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for fire door installation and repair services at Northumbria University at Newcastle has reached the award stage, with Meldrum Construction Services Group Limited being the chosen supplier. Valued at £2,500,000, this contract will run from 1st May 2026 to 28th February 2030, covering both Newcastle and Coach Lane campuses under a structured 4-year programme. This initiative falls within the fire-prevention industry sector and specifically entails CPV classifications such as fire-prevention installation works, fire doors, and fire-prevention services. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, demonstrating transparency and competitiveness, and led by Andrew Forrest, the University's Asset & Lifecycle Manager, with Jill Black serving as the primary contact for the university.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for large enterprises in fire-prevention services and construction sectors capable of handling extensive, long-term projects. Due to Northumbria University's requirement for BM Trada Accredited contractors, businesses boasting such accreditations are well positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The large scale of the contract and its substantial value imply a demand for robust capacities in resource management and quality assurance, opening avenues for businesses to demonstrate their ability to meet rigorous safety standards and compliance with fire-prevention regulations.
