Contracts are scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with an option to extend by up to two years. The estimated values excluding VAT are £3.6m for active protection, £726,000 for door inspections, £9.6m for passive protection, £480,000 for fire-fighting systems and £540,000 for FRA consultancy. Price carries 40% and quality 60% in every lot. Lots 1–3 will each have two contractors, divided between East and West; Lots 4 and 5 will each have one supplier.

This opportunity suits fire safety contractors, inspection and testing specialists, passive fire protection contractors, fire systems engineers and fire risk assessment consultancies. Relevant capability includes installing, maintaining and testing alarms, emergency lighting, smoke ventilation, fireman switches, shutters and fire-resistant hatches; inspecting communal, flat-entry and balcony fire doors; delivering fire stopping, compartmentation, damper, fusible-link and fire door repair or replacement works; maintaining sprinklers, hydrants, dry risers and extinguishers; or completing fire risk assessments, reviews, safety strategies and compartmentation surveys. Each lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist firms may be well placed to compete. Suppliers should assess whether they can provide the required technical expertise, inspection capacity and service coverage across Northamptonshire, with Lots 1–3 offering scope for regional delivery arrangements.
