Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council has completed a procurement process titled "Retrospective Fire Strategies", which fell under the category of fire-prevention services. This process was part of a selective procurement method using a call-off from the CPC - FS2 Fire Safety Framework, specifically Lot 1A for Fire Consultancy. The procurement, located in the North East of England, aimed to develop fire strategies for various high-risk buildings, including care homes and depots. The contract period runs from 1st August 2025 to 26th February 2026, with the total contract value being £69,825. The tender period concluded on 7th July 2025.

This contract provides opportunities for SMEs, such as consultancy firms specialising in fire-prevention services, to support the Council by offering expert advice and strategy development. With the framework requiring specialised knowledge in fire consultancy, businesses with a background in fire safety compliance or risk management, particularly those experienced with care homes or public sector buildings, would find this an appropriate challenge. The awarded contract to Firntec Ltd suggests that those looking to compete in future tenders should have a robust track record and capability in delivering similar services effectively.
