Summary of the contracting process

Salvation Army Housing Association procured fire safety servicing and maintenance contracts for its housing properties. The work covers routine servicing, repairs and maintenance of firefighting equipment, electrical and mechanical building installations, and associated electrical installation work (CPV 50413200, 50710000, 50711000 and 45310000). It was divided into three geographic lots: North East England; London and the South East of England; and the South West of England. The buyer is a public undertaking, with Faithorn Farrell Timms acting as procurement consultant. The requirement is for contractors able to provide ongoing fire safety and related building-services maintenance across the relevant housing stock and geographic area.

This completed open-procedure procurement was above threshold. Responses were due by 29 May 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 18 May 2026 at 12:00. Awards were dated 10 August 2026, with the standstill ending on 10 September 2026 and signature scheduled for 30 October 2026. Fieldway Compliance Limited was selected for the North East lot at £1,575,000 excluding VAT (£1,890,000 gross). ABCA Systems Limited was selected for London and the South East at £1,341,667 excluding VAT (£1,610,000 gross). Ventro Ltd was selected for the South West at £525,000 excluding VAT (£630,000 gross). Each contract is scheduled for 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with possible extensions of two years followed by two years, up to 30 November 2033. Price counted for 40%, written quality responses 25% and presented quality responses 35%. Suppliers could bid for and win any number of lots.

This award indicates sustained demand from Salvation Army Housing Association for specialist fire safety servicing and maintenance delivered across housing properties. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in servicing and repairing firefighting equipment, electrical building installations and mechanical building systems, together with the ability to undertake associated electrical installation work. The requirement rewards more than a low price: written method statements and the ability to present quality responses together accounted for 60% of evaluation. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence robust technical delivery, service quality, competent personnel, operational capacity and clear communication with the housing association. The three-lot structure also shows that the buyer can consider suppliers operating at regional scale, including SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, while allowing one supplier to cover multiple areas.
