Summary of the contracting process

Boston Borough Council procured high-priority fire door upgrade works at its Municipal Buildings on West Street, Boston. The work covers supplying and installing FD30S and E30S-rated fire doorsets, associated ironmongery, remedial works where needed, and certification and compliance documentation. It is a single-lot works contract for fire-prevention and door-installation work, delivered in an occupied building under the CDM Regulations 2015. The council is the buyer, with Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd providing procurement advice and support. The delivery location is the council’s Municipal Buildings in Boston. The requirement is focused on upgrading existing fire doors and completing the associated remedial and compliance activities needed for the building’s fire safety arrangements.

The procurement is complete following an open, below-threshold competition. Fourteen bids were received, including 14 from SMEs. ARK Fire Protection Ltd was awarded the contract on 15 September 2026 for £79,527 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2028, with signature scheduled by 25 September 2026. The original estimated gross value was £180,000, and the contract was evaluated on an equal 50% weighting for quality and 50% for commercial considerations. The tender deadline was 15 July 2026 at 2pm, and the enquiry deadline was 7 July 2026 at 2pm. The opportunity was a single lot, suitable for SMEs, and the awarded supplier is an active fire-protection business.

This award demonstrates demand from Boston Borough Council for specialist fire-door upgrade contractors able to work safely in occupied public buildings. A credible future competitor would need capability in supplying and installing FD30S and E30S-rated doorsets, fitting associated ironmongery, carrying out remedial building work, and producing certification and compliance records. Experience of working under the CDM Regulations 2015 and managing activities in an occupied municipal building would be directly relevant. The competition attracted 14 bids, all of which were from SMEs at the final stage, indicating that the requirement was accessible to smaller specialist firms. Businesses with established fire-safety installation teams, competent site management, reliable documentation processes and relevant accredited delivery experience would be well placed when this type of requirement returns.
