Summary of the contracting process

West Lancashire Borough Council procured the supply, fitting, repair and maintenance of fire doors. This is a goods requirement covering fire-door products and the associated installation and ongoing building-maintenance work. Delivery and activity are in West Lancashire. The council is the public-sector buyer and a central purchasing body. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and was intended to provide a combined service rather than separate supply, installation and maintenance packages. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include fire-door manufacturers and distributors, specialist installers, and contractors with the workforce and systems to inspect, repair and maintain fire doors across council properties in West Lancashire. The classification is CPV 44221220, for fire doors.

The procurement has reached award stage. West Lancashire Borough Council used an open procedure, with electronic submissions in English. The tender closed on 11 June 2024 at 4pm; evaluation began on 13 June 2024, when bids were opened. Ten electronic bids were received. The award was made to TF Jones Property Services Ltd, an SME, and the contract was signed on 30 June 2024. The active contract is worth £32,112.26 including the published currency of GBP. Its stated duration is 1,080 days. The tender records the single lot as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active. Evaluation was based on quality at 40% and price at 60%. Variants were not allowed and there were no renewal or additional-purchase options.

For a supplier assessing future work with this council, the award demonstrates demand for a single contractor able to cover the full fire-door lifecycle: supplying compliant doors, fitting them, carrying out repairs and maintaining them. A credible competitor would need practical fire-door installation and repair capability, access to suitable products, and enough operational capacity to support council properties across West Lancashire over a multi-year service period. The requirement also shows that the council accepted electronic bids through an open procedure and assessed both quality and price, with quality carrying a substantial share of the evaluation. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller business can be suitable for this scale of council fire-door work when it can evidence dependable delivery and maintenance capability.
