Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd is the contracting authority for the project titled "VIVID Fire Stopping and Compartmentation Works," classified under the fire-prevention installation category. The works are to be carried out within VIVID's operating area across the United Kingdom, specifically in regions UKJ and UKK. The procurement process followed an open procedure, allowing for an extensive competition among bidders. Out of 16 total bids, the final stage saw 10 successful bids, with 4 from SMEs. The total contract value reached £4.2 million, noting that contracts were awarded to Sureserve Compliance Fire Limited and Ian Williams Limited, with the contracts beginning on 1st September 2026, extending through to 31st August 2029, and the potential for a 24-month renewal. The procurement was recently concluded on 22nd June 2026, following the scheduled assessment and pending contract signature by 3rd August 2026.

The procurement of fire stopping and compartmentation works presents an excellent opportunity for large-scale businesses, particularly in the construction and safety industries, aiming for structural and safety enhancement projects within residential housing sectors. With an open procurement method, there is room for innovation and value-added services from suppliers who can offer cost-efficient and high-quality solutions. SMEs also have a distinct advantage due to the emphasis on quality over cost as part of the evaluation criteria, which can enable smaller firms with specialised expertise to successfully compete. This procurement allows businesses to solidify a relationship with a significant authority in the housing sector, such as VIVID Housing Ltd, facilitating future growth through continued partnerships and sustainable business prospects.
