Summary of the contracting process

The Metropolitan Housing Trust is advancing its Fire Engineering and Inspections Framework, a pivotal part of its building safety remediation initiative. This procurement, classified under architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services (CPV code 71000000), is designed to encompass fire engineering, design and consultancy, and inspections. Although the tender process commenced previously and reached completion, the framework spans the regions of East Midlands, London, East of England, and the South East. This contract was awarded to several firms, including SMEs like PRP Architecture LLP and Bellrock (Assets & Compliance) Consulting Ltd, on 31st October 2025. The selective procurement followed a restricted two-stage tender process, with the original tender closing in April 2025.

This framework offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in fire engineering, building safety, and inspection services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With a contract value stretching up to £10,000,000 for the comprehensive programme, SMEs can fully resource their operations over the framework's seven-year duration, capitalising on the long-term nature of this project to deliver impactful results. Companies with accreditations, relevant experience, and the capability to offer competitive hourly and daily rates will find themselves well-suited to engage successfully in such endeavours.
