Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was managed by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London for the technical design work associated with Phase 1 of the Barbican Fire Doors Project. This project falls within the 'goods' category, specifically dealing with fire doors, and was assigned a direct procurement method owing to its below-threshold value, which allowed the buyer to proceed without competition. The procurement stands in the "award" stage with GERDA SECURITY PRODUCTS LIMITED being the chosen supplier. The contract, valued at £60,000, was signed on 30th April 2025, set to run from 1st May 2025 to 31st August 2025, focusing on supplying technical design services required for fire engineering at Barbican, City of London.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in fire door manufacturing and technical design services, especially those adept at providing precise engineering solutions. Given its nature as a direct award to a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), it demonstrates the potential for smaller businesses to engage in public sector contracts without the pressure of open competition. Companies equipped to deliver niche engineering expertise in fire safety, exemplified by GERDA SECURITY PRODUCTS LIMITED, will find a viable market in similar future procurement processes.
