Summary of the contracting process

Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing Limited has awarded a contract for Health and Safety Services under an open procedure for a value of £550,000 excluding VAT (gross amount £660,000). The awarded contract is set to start on 1st April 2026 and end on 31st March 2029, with a potential extension of up to two additional years based on supplier performance. Safety Fot Group Ltd, a large enterprise based in Combermere, Whitchurch, United Kingdom, has been selected as the supplier. The procurement process has adhered to the STAR Housing Financial Regulations and is in compliance with the Procurement Act thresholds for services. The procurement stage is now complete, having transitioned from the planning and tender phases. Key performance indicators and a Service Level Agreement will govern service performance throughout the contract period.

This tender presents robust opportunities for businesses specialising in health and safety consultancy services, particularly those familiar with public sector housing requirements. While large-scale providers like Safety Fot Group Ltd have successfully secured the contract, there are also encouragements for SMEs to participate in similar tenders, primarily due to the comprehensive needs outlined in this multi-tier service arrangement. The focus on local service providers and the adherence to industry standards make this an attractive prospect for businesses aiming to establish or expand their footprint in the public procurement sector. Regular on-site visits and a preference for building collaborative relationships could further incentivise locally-based firms to engage in future opportunities with Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing.
