Summary of the contracting process

The recent contracting process conducted by the South East Consortium on behalf of Thanet District Council involved the procurement of passive fire protection works. This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) tender, finalized and awarded on 23rd April 2025, focused on building installation work under CPV code 45300000, specifically within the UK region. The tender utilised a limited procurement method without a prior publication of a call for competition, which was deemed outside the directive's scope. The procurement sought to engage a competent contractor experienced in fire protection installation. The contract was valued at £200,000 and was awarded to Sureserve Compliance Fire Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in London.

This procurement process presented substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in construction, installation services, and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in fire protection systems. Companies capable of meeting high-quality standards and operating efficiently within a DPS framework, such as those classified as SMEs, would find this tender well-suited to leverage their skills for business growth. With a significant focus on quality (60%) and competitive pricing (40%), it appeals to firms ready to showcase their competence in passive fire protection installations, aligning with the South East Consortium’s requirement for professionally certified works.
