Summary of the contracting process

The University of Essex has concluded the procurement process for the "T1014 Tawney Tower Fire Door Replacement Works." The project, awarded on 22nd October 2024, focuses on fire safety improvements within Tawney Tower, replacing communal area doors with certified 60-minute fire door sets. This initiative is driven by new legislation under the Building Safety Act 2022 and associated regulations, aiming to extend the building’s usability for another five years. R & B Decorators and Refurbishment was selected as the supplier, and the contract period spanned from 18th August 2023 to 8th December 2023. The procurement stage is at the 'Award' phase, and the industry category encompasses construction and installation services related to fire protection equipment, with a project value of GBP 400,000.

This opportunity provides significant growth potential for businesses specialising in construction, fire safety equipment installation, and building refurbishment. Companies with expertise in high-rise property compliance and safety improvements, particularly those experienced in working with educational institutions and large infrastructure projects, would be well-suited to participate. Despite not being directly aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, the scale and scope of the project offer a tangible growth opportunity for capable contractors that meet the University of Essex's stringent requirements for quality and compliance.
