Summary of the contracting process

The Kent and Medway Towns Fire Authority recently completed the awarding of a contract titled "Electrical Testing and Associated Remedial Works including C1 and C2 Remedials as well as Lightning Protection Inspections." This procurement falls under the industry category of Electrical services, with the main category being services. Conducted via a direct award under the Fusion21 framework, the procurement process did not involve a prior call for competition due to its limited method. The contract was awarded to Raam Construction Ltd, a supplier based in Enfield, and will serve the locations under the UKJ4 region. The contract was signed on 20th June 2025, with a value of £180,000, indicating the contract's activation stage. The framework allows for an initial two-year term with three 12-month extension options, potentially extending the contract up to five years. The address for the Kent and Medway Towns Fire Authority, which acted as the buyer, is The Godlands, Straw Mill Hill, Tovil, Maidstone, United Kingdom.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical services, especially those accustomed to working with public sector frameworks like Fusion21. Companies proficient in electrical testing, remedial works, and lightning protection inspections would find this contract particularly suited to their expertise. Given the reliance on the existing Fusion21 framework, businesses already accredited or seeking accreditation for such frameworks are well-positioned to capitalise on similar opportunities. SMEs, like Raam Construction Ltd, demonstrate that smaller enterprises can successfully compete and contribute to public sector projects, especially with the direct award procedures in place.
