Summary of the contracting process

Aster Group Limited procured fire compartmentation works at Old Market Court, Glastonbury, Somerset. The work addresses defects identified during fire safety inspections in several parts of the building: loft spaces, communal loft areas, service penetrations, electrical meter cupboards, and areas between top-floor flats and roof voids. This is construction and fire-prevention installation work, covering the repair or improvement of compartmentation to help contain fire and smoke within the property. The requirement is specific to one residential site rather than a broad programme across multiple locations. It would be relevant to contractors experienced in passive fire protection, fire-stopping and associated building works in occupied or communal residential buildings.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to FG Property Services LTD. Aster Group used a below-threshold procedure without competition. The award was made on 20 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £182,357 excluding VAT, or £218,829.28 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot for the fire compartmentation works at Old Market Court. The contract and award are recorded as active, while the tender is complete. The evaluation basis was the buyer’s direct appointment rather than a competitive tender process.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Aster Group for specialist passive fire protection in residential property, particularly where inspections identify compartmentation defects in difficult or sensitive building areas. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar requirements would need practical experience of fire-stopping and compartmentation repairs across loft spaces, communal areas, service penetrations, electrical meter cupboards and roof-void interfaces. Credible businesses would be able to assess defects, specify suitable remedial measures, coordinate access within a residential building and deliver compliant installation work to a concentrated site programme. The requirement is well suited to a specialist fire-protection contractor or property-services firm with experience managing safety-critical remedial works for a housing provider.
