UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Housing Solutions, a public undertaking located in Maidenhead, Berkshire, has completed the contracting process for the supply and installation of fire doors across its estate. The contract, awarded to Gunfire Ltd and commencing on 1 February 2026, spans three years with an optional extension of one year, aiming to install approximately 250 fire doors annually. This procurement falls under the industry category of fire-prevention installation works and occurs within various regions including Maidenhead, Reading, High Wycombe, Slough, Bracknell, Farnborough, Wokingham, and other locations in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Following an open procedure procurement method, the contract's gross value stands at £3 million, with the buyer committing to fixed pricing for the first two years.

The awarded contract presents substantial opportunities for business growth in the fire safety industry, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises equipped to deliver fire doors and perform installation works efficiently across a large geographical area. Companies with expertise in fire-prevention installation and robust logistical capabilities are well-suited to compete, with expectations of engaging with residents directly through appointed Resident Liaison Officers. The contract stipulates responsive replacement requests and additional purchase rights during its validity. Such arrangements offer scalability for businesses capable of adapting to Housing Solutions' requirements, aligning with their responsive repairs obligations and ensuring compliance with safety and certification standards. This tender encourages innovative improvements in installation practices and resident satisfaction, fostering long-term partnerships.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Housing Solutions - Supply and installation of Fire Doors

Notice Description

Description Scope and Delivery of Work: Mixed procurement (Goods/Works) focused on the supply and installation of fire door sets across our estate over a 3-4yr period. The successful tenderer will be expected to supply and install approximately 250 fire doors per annum inline with the Specification provided. We expect them to engage a Resident Liaison Officer (RLO) and liaise directly with the residents regarding, surveys, installation dates, general updates, correspondents, access arrangements and any issues that arise before, during and after the works. Programme scale and duration: We intend appointing for an initial contract period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 12 months. We operate a two year budget but estimate our 2026-27 - 2028-29 budget will be up to PS1.8m for fire door replacements and we expect to maintain similar budgets in future years. Therefore we estimate the max term spend to be up to PS2.5m. Geographical distribution: Housing Solutions was originally formed from transferred Local Authority homes in Maidenhead. These still form the majority of our homes (at least 70%), although there are post-1995 developments in Reading, High Wycombe, Slough, Bracknell, Farnborough, Wokingham, and other locations in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. CDM: We will appoint the Quoin Consultancy as Principal Designer, successful bidder will be appointed Principal Contractor. We expect them to prepare the key documents and Quoin will check them against the regulations. Pricing: All relevant pricing is to be submitted via the Pricing Matrix as all-inclusive (meaning they must include all aspects required to supply and install full fire door sets). To ensure a fair and like-for-like comparison; Tender prices are to be offered and agreed on the basis that pricing will be fixed for the first 2 years of the contract.

Planning Information

There was no specific event or particular date set aside for pre-market engagement activities, as the project team had anticipated this contracting opportunity being advertised in Dec-24 / Jan-25 before PA23 came in. However, some initial pre-market engagement conversations did take place in Nov-24, Dec-24 and Jan-25 with existing suppliers for fire and/or H&S related services. In April-25 4 suppliers were asked to provide comment / feedback on the intended approach + draft Service Specification and Pricing Matrix docs. The project team therefore felt that no further value would be gleaned by postponing the procurement to undertake any additional pre-market engagement activities in order to produce this UK2 Notice and are themselves content that no competitive advantage will have been given to those that did provide feedback.
