Summary of the contracting process

First Choice Homes Oldham procured services to service and maintain fire safety systems across its housing stock. The requirement covers fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, fire-fighting equipment and automatic smoke ventilation systems. This is a specialist building safety and fire protection maintenance service, including ongoing inspection, servicing and repair of equipment used to protect residents and housing assets. The work is delivered across the Oldham housing stock in Greater Manchester. The procurement is classified under repair and maintenance services for fire-fighting equipment (CPV 50413200). It is relevant to contractors with operational capability across multiple housing properties and experience maintaining a range of life-safety systems for a social housing provider.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. First Choice Homes Oldham awarded the single lot to FIELDWAY COMPLIANCE LIMITED on 8 September 2026 for £280,000 excluding VAT (£336,000 including VAT). The awarded contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2028, with provision for a two-year extension in annual increments, giving a maximum end date of 31 July 2030. The tender deadline was 15 June 2026 at 1pm; enquiries closed on 8 June 2026. Price carried 60% of the evaluation and quality 40%. Twenty-two bids were received, all from SMEs, and all progressed to the final stage. The lot was marked suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from First Choice Homes Oldham for a single provider able to maintain several types of fire safety equipment across a housing portfolio. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the technical workforce, scheduling systems and field capacity to service fire alarms, emergency lighting, fire-fighting equipment and automatic smoke ventilation systems reliably across multiple properties. Experience in social housing or other occupied residential settings would help demonstrate an understanding of resident safety, access arrangements, statutory servicing obligations and responsive repairs. Suppliers should also be able to evidence quality assurance, clear maintenance records, effective fault escalation and sufficient coverage for a multi-property contract. The strong SME participation indicates that businesses of this scale can compete for this type of work.
