Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority procured replacement vehicle and pedestrian gates, including their supply and installation, at four fire stations: Highgate, Haden Cross, Sutton Coldfield and Fallings Park. This is a works requirement covering gate installation across the West Midlands, with activity delivered at the named stations. The buyer is a public authority responsible for fire and rescue services. The requirement was divided into four station-specific lots, each covering the replacement gates at one location. Businesses involved in the manufacture, supply, installation or replacement of vehicle and pedestrian access gates are the most relevant audience, particularly contractors able to manage work across operational fire-station sites and coordinate delivery and installation as a single service.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition. Four lots were awarded to SECURITY SOLUTIONS (NORTHERN) LTD: Highgate, Haden Cross, Sutton Coldfield and Fallings Park. Each lot had an estimated gross value of £25,000; the award across all four lots has a gross value of £94,533.98. The award date was 4 September 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 70%, quality at 25% and social value at 5%. Selection required minimum annual turnover of £100,000, £5 million employers’ and public liability insurance, and a ‘Moderate’ or higher CreditSafe risk rating. The opportunity attracted nine bids for each lot.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist access-gate contractors serving a public-sector fire and rescue estate. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would combine reliable supply of replacement vehicle and pedestrian gates with competent installation at multiple operational sites. Credibility would depend on demonstrating sufficient annual turnover, employers’ and public liability insurance at the required level, and an acceptable CreditSafe risk profile. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and every lot received bids from SMEs, showing that the buyer’s requirements can be met by established smaller contractors as well as larger firms. Strong technical quality and a credible social-value offer would matter alongside competitive pricing, with price the dominant evaluation factor.
