Summary of the contracting process

The Great Places Housing Group Limited in Manchester has issued a tender for Fire Safety Works across its estate, comprising 892 buildings. This procurement focuses on remedial fire door and fire-stopping services based on ongoing Fire Risk Assessments. The tender is categorised under the industry of fire safety solutions and intends to cover works in the North West of England and parts of Yorkshire and the Humber. As part of a Competitive Flexible Procedure under urgent circumstances, the process is accelerated with submissions due by 22nd April 2026. The full procurement, including interviews and evaluation, is expected to conclude by 6th July 2026, leading to contracts commencing on 31st July 2026. This procurement represents significant investment, with the contract's value reaching up to £8 million GBP.

The tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in fire protection services, particularly those experienced in social housing sectors. Ideal candidates would be those familiar with housing association protocols and fire safety regulatory standards, capable of delivering both passive and active fire stopping solutions. The framework agreement allows for contracts with and without further competition, ensuring flexibility and ongoing opportunities post-award. Businesses well-versed in regulatory compliance, possessing suitable accreditations such as FIRAS Installer Certification, and having relevant references in the North West or Yorkshire, are strongly positioned to succeed in this tendering process. This is an excellent opportunity for SMEs to partner closely with Great Places Housing Group, not only to enhance fire safety but also to contribute to community protection initiatives.
