UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured works to replace fire doors at West Minster. The requirement is a construction and building-works project focused on removing and installing fire doors, supporting fire safety and the condition of the property. The buyer is Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority. The named requirement is specific to West Minster rather than a general fire-door maintenance service, so it is most relevant to contractors that deliver physical replacement works, building installation and associated construction activity. The procurement covers one completed package of work. Businesses specialising in fire-door replacement, passive fire protection installation or closely related construction works would be the most relevant comparators for this requirement and buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. It used a below-threshold procurement route, with the recorded method described as below threshold and otherwise unspecified. The requirement was divided into one lot, which is complete. Trustee Fire & Security Ltd was awarded the contract, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 30 August 2026 to 10 September 2026. Its value is £92,976.52 excluding VAT and £111,571.82 including VAT. The data identifies the work as construction work and links the award to the single lot. No award or selection criteria are stated in the procurement details.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement is a clear indicator that Kent County Council buys discrete fire-door replacement works rather than only broad construction programmes. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need practical capability in fire-door removal and installation, passive fire protection and construction-site delivery, with the management capacity to complete a defined package of works for a public authority. Fire and security contractors, specialist passive-fire businesses and construction firms with directly relevant installation experience are the closest peer group. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this type of council requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor.
