Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council has successfully concluded a contracting process titled "Installation of Fire Alarm and detection" at Thorntree Hub. This process falls under the services category within the repair and maintenance industry, specifically targeting the North East area of the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed through a direct method below threshold, meaning it did not involve competition. D H Potter, a small and medium-sized enterprise, has been awarded the contract, which was signed on 3rd July 2025. The contract will run from 1st August 2025 to 30th September 2025, with a gross value of £55,000. The key documents related to the contract were published on 4th July 2025.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses involved in fire alarm installation and related services to understand how direct procurement processes might offer avenues for growth, especially if they cater to specific regional or niche service requirements. Small to medium enterprises in the repair and maintenance sector could be particularly well-suited to engage in similar tenders with sub-central government bodies, enhancing their portfolio by securing contracts that do not require competitive tendering. Aligning with local council needs and developing expertise in specialised service categories could be especially beneficial for SMEs aiming to expand their presence in public sector procurements.
