Summary of the contracting process

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council procured passive fire protection works for three buildings in Basingstoke: the Beresford Centre, a two-storey, multi-tenant industrial and council operations building of approximately 2,500 square metres; 35–41 Essex Road, comprising two- to three-storey multi-tenant industrial units of approximately 2,000 square metres; and Market Chambers, a two-storey rehearsal, arts and crafts space of approximately 450 square metres. The requirement is classified as installation services for fire protection equipment (CPV 51700000) and falls within building fire-safety compliance services. The work is for the council’s own premises, across multiple building types and occupancies in Basingstoke, Hampshire.

This completed procurement was awarded on 10 July 2026 to Harmony Fire Ltd. The awarded contract value is £700,000, and the award period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at noon. The council used a selective procedure and called off the requirement from the NHS Shared Business Services Building Safety and Fire Compliance framework (SBS10509). The procurement was evaluated through that framework call-off route. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Harmony Fire Ltd is the selected supplier.

For a supplier assessing future council fire-safety work, this award demonstrates demand for passive fire protection across occupied industrial, operational, arts and rehearsal premises, rather than a single standard building. A credible competitor would need to deliver fire-protection installation and associated compliance works across several sites, manage differing building layouts and uses, and work within an established public-sector framework call-off route. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that a specialist smaller provider can be relevant where it has the necessary technical capability, delivery capacity and public-sector procurement readiness. Experience covering multi-tenant buildings and varied premises would strengthen a future response.
