Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd procured fire stopping and compartmentation works for its housing stock. The requirement covers installation works to prevent the spread of fire between compartments, together with associated fire-prevention services. The main work category is fire-prevention installation works (CPV 45343000). Delivery locations are in South East England and South West England. This is a works contract rather than a supply-only or consultancy opportunity. The buyer is VIVID Housing Ltd, a public-law housing organisation based in Portsmouth. The requirement was treated as a single package, covering the stated fire-safety works across the identified delivery areas. It is relevant to contractors undertaking passive fire protection, fire stopping, compartmentation and related compliance work in housing environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. VIVID Housing Ltd used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, through the ProcurePublic framework. The stated rationale was extreme urgency caused by unforeseeable events, subject to the strict conditions in the applicable rules. RGE Services Limited was awarded the requirement on 24 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £950,000. Evaluation was based on price. One bid was recorded. The single lot is marked cancelled in the procurement record, while the award and contract are recorded as active; businesses should therefore treat the award and signed contract as the reported outcome, while noting this status inconsistency.

This award demonstrates a substantial housing-sector requirement for passive fire protection and compartmentation across South East and South West England. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in fire stopping and compartmentation installation, fire-prevention works and the associated compliance evidence required for occupied or operational housing environments. Price was the recorded evaluation basis, so cost control, dependable delivery planning and the ability to resource work across more than one southern English region would matter. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller contractor rather than only by a national major. Experience of framework-based public-sector contracting would also strengthen a future proposition to this buyer.
