Summary of the contracting process

Mid Devon District Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the extension of the fire sprinkler and suppression system at Carlu waste and recycling centre. The tender process, identified as MD25080, fell under a limited procurement method suitable for below-threshold projects, with an emphasis on firefighting equipment installation. The award was granted to Orbital Fire Safety, located in Abbotskerswell, primarily involved in commissioning the project under contract number 1. This contract, active as of 1st July 2026, will span one year, ending on 1st July 2027, with a total contract value of £36,874. The process is categorised within the 'works' main procurement category, focusing on improving safety measures at the Tiverton location in the UKK43 region.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth within the safety installation sector, particularly for businesses specialising in firefighting equipment. The procurement process—which favours targeted, limited competition among smaller enterprises—offers an attractive platform for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Orbital Fire Safety to engage and perform on such contracts. Small businesses with expertise in safety systems, particularly those focused on sprinklers and fire suppression installations, stand to gain from engaging in similar tenders, potentially creating robust business opportunities within the public sector.
