Summary of the contracting process

Reading Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for comprehensive fire safety and compliance services across its housing portfolio in Reading, United Kingdom. This process involved an open procedure tender under the title "RBC - Fire Safety and Compliance," which sought to secure various services and works such as risk assessments, remediation works, and maintenance of fire safety equipment. The procurement, completed in 2026, involved multiple lots covering a spectrum of fire safety needs in high, medium, and low-risk residential buildings.
