Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Lewisham procured fire safety consultancy, inspection and compliance assurance for the Mayfield development project. The appointed Fire Guardian and Inspector is responsible for reviewing fire strategies, monitoring fire safety measures during construction, and checking compliance with Building Regulations and fire safety standards. The service covers RIBA Stages 4 to 7, from technical design through construction and completion. The work is delivered for the Mayfield development in the London Borough of Lewisham. It falls within fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services. This is a single-service requirement for a specialist fire safety adviser supporting the project through its later design, construction and completion stages.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Four bids were received, all four reaching the final stage; all four final-stage bidders were SMEs. PRP ARCHITECTURE LLP was awarded the contract on 23 March 2026. The award value is £69,725 excluding VAT, or £83,670 including VAT. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 1 February 2028. One lot covered the full requirement. The published outcome records an active award to PRP ARCHITECTURE LLP. The available procurement data identifies the limited competition route but does not set out separate scoring criteria or weightings.

This award indicates demand from Lewisham for an independent fire safety consultancy able to support a major development across RIBA Stages 4 to 7. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in reviewing fire strategies, inspecting and monitoring fire safety during construction, and providing compliance assurance through project completion. Experience applying Building Regulations and relevant fire safety standards is central to the work, alongside the ability to work with design and construction teams and produce clear assurance for the public-sector client. The four final-stage bids, all from SMEs, suggest that a focused specialist practice can compete through a below-threshold limited competition rather than needing the scale of a large multidisciplinary contractor.
