Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London recently concluded a public procurement process for fire engineering services, linked to the design works for the Great Arthur House project. This award is classified under the "services" industry category and involves "fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services" located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the City of London. The procurement process followed a limited method, with competition below the threshold, and reached the award stage on 10th September 2025. BB7 Consulting Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Kent, has been contracted for their expertise in this sector, with the contract having been active from 30th May 2025 to 31st July 2025. The legal basis is UK legislative framework 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fire safety consulting and engineering services to further establish themselves within the public sector market. Companies that are well-versed in providing comprehensive fire risk assessments and safety solutions, particularly those capable of operating within a specified scope of public infrastructure projects, will find themselves well-positioned to engage in similar procurement opportunities. The involvement of sub-central government authorities, such as the City of London, underscores the potential for collaborations that could lead to robust business growth and diversification of client portfolios in the public sector.
