UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Community Housing Association Limited is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "NCHA Fire Services Framework". This initiative aims to establish a multi-supplier framework for servicing, maintenance, and repair of fire safety equipment across housing properties managed by the association. The procurement process, classified under the fire-prevention services industry in the UKF14 region, involves a preliminary engagement stage, which remains open until 5th February 2026. Interested suppliers should request participation documents via the My Tenders portal, with the framework contract period expected to commence on 1st June 2026 and extend until 31st May 2030, with potential for renewal.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in fire safety services, particularly those capable of meeting financial and technical thresholds. It is ideally suited for companies that can efficiently respond to regulatory requirements, planned maintenance, and reactive works. The establishment of a framework enables multiple suppliers to secure a position, facilitating business growth through consistent collaboration with a prominent public authority. Firms offering comprehensive fire safety maintenance and repair services will find this an attractive opportunity to broaden their client base and contribute to public safety.
