Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Derby College Group involves the supply, installation, remedial repair, and planned preventative maintenance (PPM) of fire doors across their campuses, following an independent survey and fire risk assessment completed in 2023. This process has progressed through various stages, with the contract award initially to Compartment Fire Ltd on 10th November 2025. However, the award was subsequently cancelled due to identified procurement flaws that compromised the pricing and programme, necessitating a retender. The procurement covered fire prevention-related works predominantly planned for locations in Derby, UK, under an open procedure, and was last reviewed on 24th November 2025.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly suited for companies experienced in joinery, carpentry installation, and fire-prevention installation works. The diverse participation of both large companies, such as Bell Decorating Group and Mitie FS (UK) Limited, alongside SMEs like Astwoods Construction and RECOM Solutions, during the tendering process, highlights the potential for varied business sizes to engage and compete effectively. The opportunity, originally valued at £153,487 with a gross amount of £184,184.40, offers potential long-term engagement given the scope for renewal subject to performance and rate agreements through to 2028.
