Summary of the contracting process

The Great Places Housing Group Limited is planning a procurement process titled "Fire Safety Remedial Works," targeting the works industry category. This open tender, estimated up to £8 million, seeks contractors for remedial works derived from fire risk assessments, primarily involving passive firestopping work such as fire door installations. The project spans the Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, High Peak, and South Yorkshire regions. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a tender submission deadline set for 19th January 2026 and an award period completing by 19th March 2026. The contract, managed under an open procedure, could extend for up to eight years with potential call-off contracts executed directly or via mini-competitions.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in fire safety, fire prevention installation works, and electrical and mechanical installations. SMEs are especially encouraged to participate, given the framework's design to support them through competitive flexible procedures. The project's large scope and significant duration of up to eight years allow participating businesses not only to secure immediate work but also to establish a long-term relationship with Great Places Housing Group. Given the project's nature, firms with capabilities in innovative fire risk prevention and compliance with new safety regulations stand to gain, helping them grow through sustainable and strategic engagements.

        "riskDetails": "Market Capacity Risk - Limited number of suitably qualified subcontractors in the region may lead to insufficient competition. Pricing Volatility - Fluctuations in material and labour costs (e.g. due to inflation or supply chain issues) could impact contract delivery and budget adherence. Supply Chain Disruption - Global or local events could impact delivery times and costs. Mobilisation Delays - Contractors may face delays in starting services due to onboarding, resource allocation, or access issues. Policy or Legislative Changes - New government regulations (e.g. building safety, net zero requirements) could impose additional obligations mid-contract. Force Majeure Events - Natural disasters, pandemics, or geopolitical events could impact delivery timelines or costs. Undisclosed Conflicts of Interest - A bidder may have undeclared relationships that could compromise the integrity of the process. Cybersecurity Breaches - If digital systems are used for scheduling or reporting, there's a risk of data breaches or system failures. Complaints - Dissatisfaction from residents or stakeholders could delay or complicate works. Leasehold reform - Ongoing or forthcoming leasehold reform legislation (e.g. Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill) may alter the rights of leaseholders, particularly around service charges, consultation requirements, and enfranchisement. In-house delivery - Services delivered by internal resource may increase or decrease during lifetime of the contract. Technology Failure or Integration Issues - If digital systems (e.g. job scheduling, resident portals) are used, integration or reliability issues may arise. Acquisition of merger in the event GPHG acquires additional stock, e.g. through merger, contract or other acquisition, then GPHG reserves the right to extend the contract by a further period of 1 year and up to 50% value Additional services - Suppliers may be required to deliver additional services/works or location that are in keeping with the nature of the contract for presently unknown variables, such as: > to support other departments within Great Places > to help to meet carbon net zero objectives > supporting any incoming or new regulatory and legislative changes > in cases of urgency > in cases of an alternative contract failure or termination > in cases of GPHG staff absence or illness"
