Summary of the contracting process

Mid Sussex District Council procured works at its Oaklands Campus in Haywards Heath to replace old fire doors and carry out remedial fire-stopping works in compartment walls and floors. The requirement covers fire-door installation, fireproofing and associated building installation works. It is a single works contract for the full requirement, rather than separate contracts for different services. The council is the buyer and the work is associated with its Oaklands site in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. This opportunity is relevant to contractors specialising in fire doors, passive fire protection, fire stopping, compartmentation remediation and related building installation works, particularly those able to manage a complete site-based package for a public-sector property owner.

The procurement has been completed under an open, below-threshold competition. Tenders closed on 13 February 2026 at 12:00, following an enquiry deadline of 6 February 2026 at 17:00. Bell Group Ltd was awarded the single contract. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £182,180.53 excluding VAT and £218,616.64 including VAT. The tender’s estimated value was £156,000 excluding VAT and £187,200 including VAT. Evaluation was based on price, weighted at 70%, and quality, weighted at 30%. Electronic tender submission was allowed, and the contract is recorded as active.

This procurement indicates demand from Mid Sussex District Council for integrated passive fire protection and building compliance works, combining fire-door replacement with fire-stopping remediation. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need practical capability in surveying existing fire doors and compartmentation, supplying and installing compliant fire-door assemblies, repairing fire stopping in walls and floors, and coordinating associated building installation activities. Credible competitors would also need the operational capacity to deliver a complete short-duration package at a council campus, manage site access and sequencing, and provide evidence of quality through their technical approach. The 70:30 evaluation split shows that competitive pricing matters most, while the quality submission remains significant in demonstrating delivery methods, workmanship and assurance.
