UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

New Forest District Council procured interim fire safety management and support for its housing asset management and maintenance services. The work covers leadership of the council’s housing fire risk assessment programme across its housing stock, completion of fire door audits, fire door replacement activity and a door entry project. The supplier is responsible for implementing actions and work programmes arising from fire risk assessments, including tendering and overseeing fire safety projects, working with external fire safety specialists, maintaining project controls, and supervising the Lead Building Safety Officer and Building Safety Officers. It also includes monitoring project activity, budgets, delivery targets and timescales. This is a specialist fire safety and building safety management service delivered for the council’s housing operations in the New Forest area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective, below-threshold award under a framework, without a competitive call-off. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and awarded to Tile Hill Interim & Executive Limited. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 20 November 2026, with a possible eight-month extension subject to the council’s requirements; its maximum end date is 20 July 2027. The contract value is £180,000 gross. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement for recruitment services, and was handled as a single completed lot. The selected supplier is an active contract party, and the contract itself is active.

This award indicates demand for senior interim leadership combining fire safety, building safety, housing asset management and programme delivery. A credible competitor would need to lead housing-wide fire risk assessment programmes and convert findings into controlled remedial work, including fire door and access-control projects. Relevant capability includes commissioning and managing external fire safety experts, tendering works, monitoring quality, budgets and milestones, and maintaining formal project governance and reporting. Experience supervising fire safety or building safety officers would be important, as would the ability to coordinate multiple workstreams across a council housing stock. The awarded supplier is an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that this scale and service model can suit a smaller specialist provider with strong interim management expertise.
