Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council procured fire, safety and security works, goods and services for its housing and other buildings across Hertfordshire. The requirement covered passive and active fire safety and associated building security systems. It included alarm monitoring; automatic opening vents and barriers; automatic doors; commercial and domestic door-entry systems; dry and wet risers; emergency lighting; fire alarms and equipment; fall-arrest systems; personal-protection water misting; sprinklers; suppression systems; and warden-call systems. The scope covered both installation and servicing, including testing and remedial work. Fire risk assessments were excluded. This was a services-led requirement combining planned installation, inspection, maintenance and responsive works for a public-sector building portfolio.

The procurement used an above-threshold open procedure and was divided into two lots; this outcome concerns Lot 2, Fire, Safety and Security Works, Goods and Services. The award was made on 20 May 2026 to SureServe Compliance Central Limited and RGE Services Limited, with an awarded value of £15,000,000 excluding VAT (£18,000,000 including VAT). The lot was evaluated on the most advantageous tender: quality 70%, comprising technical quality 60% and social value 10%, with commercial cost weighted at 30%. The standstill period ended on 11 May 2026. Dacorum Borough Council subsequently withdrew the Lot 2 award decision and abandoned the lot; the contract will not be signed. The decision not to sign was made on 13 July 2026.

This procurement indicates demand for suppliers able to deliver a broad, integrated fire, safety and security service across Hertfordshire rather than a single specialist installation. Credible competitors would need practical capability in fire alarms, firefighting and suppression equipment, sprinklers, emergency lighting, risers, automatic doors and vents, access control, warden-call systems, alarm monitoring and fall-arrest systems. They would also need to combine installation with scheduled servicing, statutory testing, maintenance and remedial works in domestic and commercial settings. The two successful suppliers show that the requirement can be delivered through a multi-disciplinary service model, while the participation of SMEs indicates scope for suitably capable smaller firms, partnerships or subcontractors. Strong technical delivery and demonstrable social value would be important alongside price.
