Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for a Smoke Extraction System at Alexandra Court has been completed, led by Housing 21, a central government public authority based in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded on 10th October 2025 to FORTH Technical Services Ltd, a large company situated in Romsey, UK. This contract falls under the works industry category with a focus on safety equipment installation. Covering several regions across the UK, the procurement stage has progressed to the contract award phase, with the operational period scheduled between 1st January 2026 and 31st March 2026.
