Summary of the contracting process

Colchester Borough Council is buying works to replace and provide compartmentation for internal storage fire doors across its existing general housing stock. The requirement covers fire-door installation within council housing, rather than a general fire-safety service. Delivery is in the council’s housing stock in Colchester, in the East of England. The procurement is for the council’s own housing requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Global HSE Solutions was selected, with an award value of £496,341.60. The award was made on 27 July 2026, and the contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 19 May 2026. The procedure and evaluation basis are not described in the supplied procurement information. This is a single requirement for the housing stock; no separate lots are identified. The stated suitability information indicates that voluntary, community and social enterprises could participate, while small and medium-sized enterprises were not marked as suitable.

The award demonstrates demand from Colchester Borough Council for replacing and compartmentalising internal storage fire doors across its general housing stock. A credible competitor for this buyer’s comparable future requirement would need the capacity to deliver a coordinated programme of fire-door replacement across occupied or managed housing, alongside the technical ability to provide effective compartmentation. Experience in public-sector housing works and fire-door projects would be relevant to demonstrating delivery capability. The selected supplier, Global HSE Solutions, is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller supplier was able to deliver this contract despite the procurement’s suitability information not identifying it as SME-suitable. The requirement is focused on fire doors in existing homes, so suppliers whose expertise is limited to unrelated building works would be less closely aligned.
