Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Brookes University has completed a direct procurement process for "Fire Protection remedial works - Halls of Residence - Phase 3." This project, structured under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54, encompasses passive fire protection works following a compartmentation survey in their halls of residence, necessitated by the need for immediate fire safety improvements. The procurement method involved a below-threshold, non-competitive approach, resulting in the successful award dated 1st May 2026. Located at the university's Headington Campus in Oxford, the contract signifies an investment of approximately £150,000, exclusive of VAT, allocated for specialist contractor services, with the contract period spanning from 1st June to 30th September 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in fire protection works, particularly those with expertise in fire-extinguisher agents, charges, alarm systems, and firefighting equipment installation. Such businesses, especially SMEs, are encouraged to engage in similar opportunities to expand their portfolio within the public sector, capitalising on the increased demand for safety compliance and quick turnarounds in institutional environments. While Kale Interiors Ltd has been awarded the contract, businesses poised with similar capabilities can look forward to similar opportunities in the sub-central government contracts sector outlined by public authorities like Oxford Brookes University.
