Summary of the contracting process

Gov Facility Services Ltd procured firestopping works for prison buildings. The requirement covers construction work to protect prison facilities from fire spread, delivered across several locations in London and surrounding areas. It is classified as prison building construction work (CPV 45216113). The procurement comprised one requirement and was bought by Gov Facility Services Ltd, a public-sector facilities organisation responsible for its estate. The selected contractor is Sanper Construction Ltd, an SME based in Hemel Hempstead. The work is therefore relevant to construction and specialist building-protection contractors with experience of firestopping in secure or operational facilities, particularly those able to work across multiple prison sites while meeting site-access and safety controls.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sanper Construction Ltd on 17 July 2026. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, rather than an open tender. The award value is £87,449.38 excluding VAT and £104,939.26 including VAT. The contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 30 September 2027. One lot was awarded. The buyer has reserved an option for additional services. The award is recorded as pending, with signature scheduled for 17 July 2026. The published outcome identifies one selected supplier and does not describe a competitive evaluation exercise.

This award confirms demand from Gov Facility Services Ltd for specialist firestopping works in prison buildings, delivered across a multi-site estate. A future competitor would need credible construction delivery capability, practical expertise in fire compartmentation and firestopping, and the capacity to coordinate works across secure operational sites. Experience of working safely in prisons or similarly controlled environments would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the systems and workforce needed to manage access restrictions, sequencing, inspections and evidence of completed work. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that a business of modest scale can be considered for this type of requirement when it can provide suitably capable personnel and reliable site delivery.
