Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter has concluded a procurement process for its Fire Damper Maintenance Tender, culminating in the award and contract signing stages. This procurement sought a single supplier to manage and maintain fire damper assets, including potential reactive maintenance and new installation works. Following an open procedure above the threshold, Rock Compliance Limited was awarded the contract, which will span from 1st August 2025 to 1st August 2027, with options for renewal in two-year increments. The procurement focused on services in the mechanical building installations category, operating primarily within the UK region.

This contract offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in fire safety and building maintenance services. Companies capable of providing reliable inspection, maintenance, and installation during building refurbishments stand to benefit. The nature of the contract, with provisions for reactive maintenance and extensions, allows suppliers to expand their portfolio and secure a long-term partnership with a prestigious institution like the University of Exeter. Businesses that can deliver high-quality service and competitive pricing are well-suited to engage with such public procurement opportunities.
