Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington commissioned a principal fire engineer for Bevin Court in Islington, London. The service provides competent, independent fire engineering advice to assess resident safety and help the council demonstrate compliance with the Building Safety Regulator. It also supports the potential issue of a Building Safety Certificate. This is a professional building consultancy service, covering fire engineering advice associated with a residential building and its safety obligations. The requirement was structured as a single service lot for the council. The wider delivery classification covers England, but the named project and place of work are Bevin Court in Islington. Businesses specialising in independent fire engineering, building safety assessment and related residential high-rise or complex-building consultancy would be relevant to this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. It comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 5 June 2026 and runs from 10 June 2026 to 1 March 2027. The awarded supplier is HARMONY FIRE LIMITED, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract value is £44,911.08 excluding VAT, or £53,893.30 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies one award to HARMONY FIRE LIMITED for the fire engineering consultancy service. The procurement was evaluated as a completed competition, with the requirement centred on competent independent advice for resident safety, Building Safety Regulator compliance and potential Building Safety Certificate support.

This procurement indicates demand from the London Borough of Islington for independent fire engineering expertise connected with residential building safety and regulatory assurance. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable competence in fire engineering, the ability to provide impartial technical advice, and experience assessing risks to residents in occupied residential buildings. It would also need to understand the evidence and assurance expected by the Building Safety Regulator, and how fire engineering advice can support a Building Safety Certificate. Relevant capability includes producing clear technical assessments, advising a public-sector client, and translating complex fire-safety findings into practical compliance evidence. The awarded supplier’s SME status also shows that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist consultancy rather than only by a large multidisciplinary firm.
