The contract, titled "UKRI-6169 - Height Safety Systems Maintenance," falls under the works industry category, specifically focusing on roof repair and maintenance work. This direct award procurement method was chosen for technical reasons following a successful inspection. The process reached the award stage on 19th June 2026, with Harmony Fire Ltd selected as the supplier. The work is scheduled to commence on 1st July 2026 and conclude by 15th September 2027, with an option for a one-year extension.
