Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited bought passive fire remedial works covering compartmentation and fire-rated glazing, intended to help resolve Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs). The work is categorised as building installation and repair and maintenance of building installations. The stated operational area is Manchester and Milton Keynes, with delivery locations also recorded across London and the North East and North West of England. This is a works requirement for a housing-related public undertaking, rather than a supply-only contract or consultancy. Businesses relevant to this requirement include contractors able to investigate and remedy passive fire defects, install or replace compartmentation measures, and carry out associated fire-rated glazing and building-installation works across multiple locations. The buyer is The Guinness Partnership Limited, based in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Bellmac Fire and Security Limited was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2027. Its value is £375,000 excluding VAT, or £450,000 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract covers the full passive fire remedial works requirement, including compartmentation and glazing. The recorded supplier is Bellmac Fire and Security Limited. The process used the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023, section 54, and the contract is below the applicable threshold.

This procurement demonstrates demand from The Guinness Partnership for practical passive fire remediation across a multi-location housing estate. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in compartmentation works, fire-rated glazing, and the repair or maintenance of building installations, with sufficient capacity to coordinate work across Manchester, Milton Keynes, London and other parts of England. Experience of resolving defects identified through Fire Risk Assessments would be directly relevant. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by a specialist smaller contractor rather than only a large national business. Firms with competent site teams, reliable surveying and remedial delivery, and the ability to manage varied properties and locations would be well placed when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
