Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is conducting a tender process for Fire Risk Assessment Works across civic buildings, spanning from 2026 to 2029. The procurement focuses on fire-prevention installation works, falling under the industry category of fire protection. Classified as a public authority under sub-central government, the council seeks to establish a closed framework agreement involving fire stopping and passive fire protection works, along with fire alarm system design, supply, and commissioning within its civic estate located in Leeds, United Kingdom. The procurement follows the open procedure, as outlined in the Procurement Act 2023, and aims to appoint contractors to specific lots with a procurement method that allows for electronic submission of tenders in English. Key dates include the tender submission deadline of 21 May 2026 and an award period concluding on 17 July 2026.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fire protection and alarm systems, offering substantial growth potential due to an overall contract value of £14.4 million. SMEs with relevant industry certifications, robust financial capacity, and expertise in fire-prevention and alarm installations are encouraged to participate. The closed framework will select multiple contractors, ensuring diverse business opportunities through rotational allocation of work packages. Leeds City Council plans to appoint up to five participants for Fire Stopping and Passive Fire Protection works and two contractors for Fire Alarm Design, Supply, and Commissioning, creating a competitive environment ideal for businesses seeking to expand their governmental portfolio.
