Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured fire risk assessment services for designated properties in Leicester. The appointed supplier is expected to carry out assessments that identify fire hazards, evaluate risks to occupants and recommend control measures and remedial actions. The service supports compliance with relevant fire safety legislation and best-practice standards, helping the council manage risks and keep buildings safe, compliant and fit for purpose. The work is a professional fire safety and risk assessment service rather than construction work. Delivery is across council properties in Leicester, with the supplier working alongside the council’s internal contractor. The procurement is classified as services, with the associated classification covering risk or hazard assessment other than for construction. The requirement was a single lot and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has reached award stage, with Xomni Limited selected as supplier. Leicester City Council used an open procedure. The award was dated 13 August 2026 and has a gross value of £1,800,000 (£1,500,000 excluding VAT). The initial award period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend by one year plus one year, up to 30 September 2031. The tender deadline was 17 June 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 10 June 2026 at 12:00, and the award period ended on 1 July 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 55%, including 10% social value, and price at 45%. Thirty-two bids reached the final stage, including 28 from SMEs. The scheduled contract signature date was 28 September 2026.

This award shows established demand from Leicester City Council for a substantial, multi-year programme of fire risk assessments across its property portfolio. Suppliers considering future work for this buyer would need credible capability in fire safety risk assessment, including identifying hazards, assessing risks to occupants, recommending proportionate controls and specifying remedial actions. Competence in applying relevant fire safety legislation and recognised best-practice standards would be central, alongside the capacity to manage assessments across designated properties and coordinate effectively with an internal council contractor. The competition attracted 32 final-stage bids, 28 from SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller firms can compete for this type of requirement. A credible supplier would therefore combine technical fire safety expertise, reliable delivery processes, suitable staffing capacity and experience producing clear, actionable assessment reports for public-sector buildings.
