UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council procured repair services for the fire training structure at Scottow. The requirement covers repairs to the structure, classified under preventive maintenance services. The work is for a council-owned or managed fire-training facility and is delivered at Scottow, in Norfolk. This is a specialist maintenance and repair opportunity rather than a general construction or routine facilities-management requirement. Businesses relevant to this procurement are those able to inspect, repair and maintain fire-training infrastructure safely, with the practical capability to work on structures used for emergency-service training. The buying organisation is Norfolk County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is focused on one fire-training structure and one defined location, rather than a county-wide programme of maintenance services.

The tender is complete and has been awarded. Norfolk County Council used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method described as unknown. FREESTONE ENGINEERING LTD was awarded the contract on 31 May 2026. The contract was signed on 31 May 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £120,000 excluding VAT and £144,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement comprised one lot covering the Scottow fire-training structure repairs. The published outcome records preventive maintenance services as the awarded category. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and contract value, but does not set out an award-scoring breakdown or separate evaluation weighting.

This procurement indicates demand from Norfolk County Council for specialist repair and preventive-maintenance capability at a fire-training facility. A credible future competitor would need practical experience diagnosing and repairing structural or building defects in demanding operational environments, while managing safety around facilities used for emergency-service training. Evidence of completing comparable repair or maintenance projects for public-sector, industrial or specialist operational sites would help demonstrate suitability. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a business of this scale could deliver the requirement rather than only a large national contractor. Relevant firms should be able to plan site work, control health and safety risks, coordinate with the council and provide reliable workmanship and documentation for a specialist structure.
