UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process initiated by Brighton and Hove City Council involves the direct award of urgent fire safety works at the Bristol Estate, designated under reference number BH - 25/26. This contract, valued at £700,000, encompasses critical fire safety measures across 10 blocks, including passive fire protection and the installation of fire alarms to facilitate simultaneous evacuation. The procurement falls under the Industry Category of Architectural, Construction, Engineering, and Inspection Services and is located in the UKJ21 region of the United Kingdom. Key dates to note include the contract period from 1st December 2025 to 31st March 2026. Due to the urgency of the works, a direct procurement method was employed without a formal tender process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fire safety services, particularly those capable of rapid response and high-quality installation work. With its focus on architectural and construction-related services, companies in this sector can leverage this contract to enhance their portfolio and expand their market presence in public sector projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as those already involved like PAL-Performance Adhesives Ltd and Lee Sullivan Contract Flooring Ltd, are well-suited to compete in this space, benefiting from the project's scale and urgency. Engaging in such government contracts can provide substantial growth potential for participating businesses.
