UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Poplar HARCA is preparing to procure fire risk assessment consultancy services from a single supplier. The work is building-inspection consultancy focused on assessing fire risks, supporting fire safety management and providing related professional advice for Poplar HARCA’s housing and property assets. Delivery is associated with London. Faithorn Farrell Timms is managing the procurement for Poplar HARCA as procurement consultant. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and specialist inspection providers with experience of fire risk assessments in buildings and the ability to provide an ongoing, organisation-wide consultancy service. The procurement is intended to appoint one supplier rather than divide the requirement between several providers. Suppliers considering the future tender should assess whether their fire safety consultancy capacity and building-inspection expertise match this scope.

This procurement is at the planning and preliminary market-engagement stage; it is an intention to procure, not an invitation to tender. Poplar HARCA expects to use an above-threshold tender procedure for services. The proposed contract is expected to run from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2032, with renewal provision potentially extending the maximum term to 30 April 2037. The stated contract value is approximately £150,000 to £200,000 per year excluding VAT; the published total gross value is £2.4 million. Poplar HARCA plans a supplier engagement event at 1pm on 8 September 2026 at the Feldy Center, 18 Aberfeldy Square, London E14 0XA. Suppliers must register by 5pm on 4 September 2026, with a maximum of two attendees per supplier.

The requirement should suit specialist fire safety consultancies, building-inspection firms and multidisciplinary property compliance providers that can undertake fire risk assessment consultancy for a large housing organisation. A supplier will need relevant technical expertise in assessing fire risks in buildings, producing clear professional findings and recommendations, and supporting the client throughout a long-term service arrangement. The single-supplier structure may suit an organisation with sufficient capacity to provide consistent coverage across Poplar HARCA’s London operations, manage a sustained programme of assessments and maintain dependable specialist resource over several years. The planned engagement event gives interested firms an opportunity to understand the requirement, explain their service model and raise practical questions before the tender is developed. There is no tender to bid for at this stage.
