Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the installation of the Tagevac Fire Evacuation system at Tyneside House has been concluded. Conducted by DEFRA, this procurement falls under the industry category of Ancillary building services and was carried out through a direct procurement method classified as a single tender action below the threshold. Located in the North East of the United Kingdom, the contracting process moved to the award stage with DEFRA officially awarding the contract to Tagevac Ltd. The process reached its award date on 12th August 2025, immediately following the close of the tender period on 11th August 2025. The contract is set to run from 12th August 2025 until 30th September 2025, with a total award value of £14,500 GBP.

This tender offers significant business opportunities, particularly for those specialising in the installation and provision of fire evacuation systems approved for government buildings. Although directly awarded to Tagevac Ltd due to specific procurement method constraints, similar upcoming projects might present chances for other firms skilled in ancillary building services. While this particular contract wasn't open to SMEs or VCSEs, larger firms with requisite approvals and technologies that align with such standards may find future prospects to engage with public sector contracts beneficial for entering or expanding their presence in governmental infrastructure projects.
