UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured fire-rated silicone and architrave for installing fire doors and fire-rated sidelights. The silicone must comply with the test data and the specified field of application used for those installations. This is a goods requirement within the building materials category. Delivery is in the Bradford area of West Yorkshire. The procurement covers materials rather than installation services, construction works or general building maintenance. It is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of fire-door installation materials, particularly businesses able to supply compliant fire-rated silicone and associated architrave for public-sector building projects. The council is the buyer and the requirement sits within its housing, property or wider building-maintenance activity, as indicated by the stated use in fire-door and fireside-light installation.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to General All purpose plastics Ltd for the single lot. The award is active. The contract was signed on 12 May 2026 and runs from 16 May 2026 to 17 May 2027, with an option for one 12-month renewal up to 17 May 2028. Its value is £5,750,856 excluding VAT, or £6,901,027 including VAT. The process used a below-threshold limited competition, meaning a limited procurement method rather than an open tender. The published data identifies the requirement as building materials and records the tender as complete. The selected supplier is a large business based in Blackburn. The contract is below the applicable threshold and relates to Bradford delivery.

This award demonstrates substantial council demand for fire-door installation materials, centred on fire-rated silicone and architrave and delivered in the Bradford area. A credible future competitor would need dependable supply capacity for a sizeable public-sector requirement, together with products that match the fire-door and fire-sidelight test data and remain within the specified field of application. Technical product assurance and the ability to evidence compliance would be central to competing effectively. Relevant businesses include manufacturers, specialist building-material distributors and suppliers already serving fire-door, passive-fire-protection or public-building maintenance programmes. The limited-competition route also indicates that suppliers should be prepared to respond to a restricted approach rather than relying only on open-market tender searches. Experience supplying councils or similar estates would strengthen operational credibility, particularly for consistent deliveries of compliant materials.
