Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark is planning a procurement process for two fire protection contracts, titled "Fire Protection Chargeable Contracts (North and South)". This procurement falls under the "works" industry category, specifically construction work, and targets the region UKI44 in the United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, this planned procurement entails fire protection services including compartmentation surveys, fire protection installations, and maintenance. The contract is valued at £16 million net with a gross estimate of £19.2 million for a three-year period, starting on 12th November 2027, extendable by up to two additional years. Interested parties should anticipate a future tender notice by 9th November 2026. The buying organisation, identifiable as a public sub-central government authority, operates under the contact point of Mr. Keith Kiernan (ampt@southwark.gov.uk).

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for companies experienced in fire protection and construction services. It is particularly suited for businesses capable of undertaking comprehensive fire safety work, such as surveys, fire doors, hydrant maintenance, and installation of fire protection systems like sprinklers and cavity barriers. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) qualified to deliver these services might find this opportunity rewarding given its long-duration contract and renewal possibilities. Firms looking to expand into the public sector or increase their portfolio of large-scale municipal contracts can greatly benefit from engaging with this upcoming tender process.
