Summary of the contracting process

Ivybridge Town Council is procuring fire compartmentation and associated fire safety works at Ivybridge Town Hall and The Watermark in Ivybridge, Devon. The works cover installation or reinstatement of fire compartmentation to achieve at least 30-minute fire resistance, with tested and certified fire-stopping to service penetrations. They also include ground-floor sealing and making good, replacement fire-rated suspended ceilings and tiles, remedial works to fire doors, and reinstatement of ceiling lights and smoke detectors with fire-rated hoods and sealing. Scaffolding and temporary protection are required for a secondary escape stairway, which must remain operational throughout. The work will take place in a live office environment, requiring safe phasing, maintained escape routes and minimal disruption.

The procurement has reached tender: Ivybridge Town Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single package, with an estimated gross value of £40,000 including VAT. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 1 October 2026. The buyer set a tender submission deadline of midnight, 10 August 2026, with submissions accepted electronically, by post or by hand. Evaluation requires compliance with specified insurance, health and safety, risk assessment, method statement, qualifications, experience and reference requirements. Tenderers must provide a lump-sum price, hourly rate for extras, programme duration, separate point pricing for lights and detectors, supporting certificates, qualifications, experience, exclusions and a tender checklist.

This opportunity suits specialist passive fire protection and fire-stopping contractors able to deliver compartmentation, certified penetration sealing, fire-rated ceiling systems and fire door remedial works. Relevant expertise in intumescent strips, smoke seals, door closers, thresholds, gap adjustment and fire door certification will be useful, alongside the ability to reinstate electrical fittings safely. Suppliers must be capable of working in occupied premises, coordinating with other contractors, managing scaffolding and temporary protection, and maintaining a compliant escape route throughout the works. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Competitors need relevant qualifications or certifications such as FIRAS, BM TRADA or equivalent, documented experience and at least two references.
