UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation bought fire-stopping installation services for a surface building. The requirement covers installation work intended to provide fire-stopping measures within the building. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as the shared service provider. Delivery was specified in the United Kingdom. The procurement was treated as a services contract and formed one completed requirement. This is relevant to fire-protection contractors, passive fire-protection specialists and building-services firms that install fire-stopping systems. The work is installation-focused rather than a supply-only purchase, so businesses should assess their experience in carrying out fire-stopping works in occupied or operational buildings and their ability to work within public-sector site requirements. The buyer was UK Research and Innovation.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender was completed through a limited procurement method, and the contract was signed on 6 August 2026. UK Research and Innovation awarded the contract to Expert Fire Solutions Limited. The contract is active from 6 August 2026 to 6 November 2026. Its value is £21,250 excluding VAT and £25,500 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the fire-stopping installation requirement. The award relates to installation services and the contract is below the relevant threshold. This is a contract-details outcome rather than a call for competition: the supplier has already been selected and the procurement has reached its award and contract stage.

This award shows that UK Research and Innovation uses a limited-competition route for relatively small, focused fire-stopping installation requirements through UK Shared Business Services. Competitors targeting similar work would need a clear passive fire-protection installation capability, practical experience delivering fire-stopping works for buildings, and the capacity to complete a defined requirement within a short contract period. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the scale and route can suit smaller specialist contractors as well as larger building-services businesses. Firms should be able to demonstrate reliable site delivery, competent installation teams and the operational discipline needed for public-sector work. Relevant businesses can use this award as evidence of demand from this buyer for specialist fire-stopping installation services.
