Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council commissioned active fire consultancy services for its 2026–2030 requirement. The work concerns fire and explosion protection and control consultancy, supporting the council’s housing-related active fire needs. It is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement was arranged through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Active Fire Framework, specifically Sub-Lot 2.1. The appointed supplier is Tersus Consultancy Limited, a large consultancy based in London. The buying organisation is Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, a public authority responsible for the requirement. The procurement covered one completed lot, focused on specialist advice and consultancy rather than construction, equipment supply or routine facilities management.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a competitive, selective procedure under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Active Fire Framework, using a below-threshold framework award route. Tersus Consultancy Limited was awarded the contract on 15 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2027. Its value is £11,410 excluding VAT, or £13,692 including VAT. One lot was awarded and the award is active. The stated requirement covers consultancy services for fire and explosion protection and control. The framework call-off was competitive, but the published information does not set out the individual evaluation criteria or their weighting.

This award indicates demand from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for specialist active fire consultancy supporting housing-related work. Businesses best placed for a comparable requirement would need demonstrable capability in fire and explosion protection and control consultancy, together with the technical competence to advise a local authority on active fire risks. Experience of delivering structured consultancy under a public-sector framework would be commercially relevant, particularly where work must be procured through a competitive call-off. A credible competitor would also need sufficient capacity to support the council’s requirement across its operational estate and to produce clear, reliable professional advice. The successful supplier’s profile shows that a substantial consultancy can meet this requirement, while specialist smaller firms may need appropriate framework access and delivery capacity.
