UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Your Housing Group, a public authority sub-central government agency located in Warrington, has awarded a contract for Fire Engineer Services at their Priority Building Project in Kingswood, Chester. The procurement, finalised on 28th May 2025, was undertaken through a direct, below-threshold method, meaning no competitive process was involved due to specific project needs. The contract, valued at £64,200 gross, commenced on 20th May 2025 and concludes on 30th April 2026. The services belong to the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection category and are crucial for the timely and high-safety delivery of the building project.

This procurement offers a considerable opportunity for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in engineering consultancy with a focus on fire safety. Although the contract was directly awarded to OFR Consultants Limited, an SME based in Manchester, similar organisations with expertise in complex fire engineering projects can look to develop partnerships or seek future opportunities where their unique insights and proven track record could provide a competitive edge. The need for consistency in advice and specific project knowledge was pivotal in this award, indicating a tendency towards retaining expert knowledge within critical infrastructure projects, an essential consideration for firms aiming to enter or expand in this sector.
