Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured active fire services for its 2026–2030 requirement, covering the repair and maintenance of firefighting equipment. The work is a service rather than a supply or construction contract, and relates to the council’s housing activities under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Active Fire Framework. Delivery is stated for the United Kingdom, with Bristol City Council as the buying organisation. The requirement was arranged through the framework’s active fire provision and concerns ongoing servicing and maintenance rather than a single equipment purchase. Businesses operating in fire protection, firefighting equipment maintenance and related compliance services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to support a public-sector housing client through a framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Briggs Fire and Security Limited on 13 July 2026. The award and contract value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2027. Bristol City Council used a selective procedure, making a below-threshold award under the Northern Housing Consortium Active Fire Framework; the award was non-competitive. The process comprised one completed lot. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026, with the award recorded as active and the contract active. The awarded requirement is classified as repair and maintenance services for firefighting equipment.

This award demonstrates Bristol City Council’s demand for planned active fire maintenance within its housing environment and shows that the requirement can be placed through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Active Fire Framework. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in repairing and maintaining firefighting equipment, with the operational capacity to provide a dependable service to a public-sector housing client across the United Kingdom. Experience of framework-based call-offs and of delivering responsive, ongoing maintenance would strengthen a supplier’s position. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an appropriately resourced specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Suppliers should focus on fire equipment maintenance expertise and public-sector service delivery.
