UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council procured works to supply, manufacture and install perforated metal screens on existing balconies to mitigate safety hazards. The requirement covered 18 screens, including scaffolding, at The Heights Shopping Centre in Hemel Hempstead. This is specialist balcony safety and metal fabrication work, involving the manufacture of perforated screens and their installation to an existing building. The buyer is Dacorum Borough Council, a sub-central public authority based in Hemel Hempstead. The work is located in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. The procurement’s classification identifies the requirement as balcony work. It would suit contractors able to combine bespoke or specialist metal fabrication with site installation, access arrangements and safety-related building works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Dacorum Borough Council awarded the single lot to Mr Gates Fabrication Specialists Ltd. The award is active. The award date is not recorded separately; the contract was signed on 17 August 2026. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £31,105.25 excluding VAT and £37,326.30 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active and concerns one completed procurement lot covering the supply, manufacture and installation of the 18 perforated metal balcony screens, with scaffolding included.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for building-safety works combining perforated metal fabrication, balcony installation and scaffolding at an occupied or existing commercial site. A credible competing supplier would need practical experience designing or manufacturing screens to fit existing balconies, managing installation safely, and coordinating temporary access equipment. The successful supplier was an SME specialising in fabrication, indicating that a focused specialist business can deliver this type of council requirement rather than only a large general contractor. Relevant capability includes surveying existing structures, producing durable bespoke metalwork, controlling site risks, and completing installation to an agreed programme. Firms with evidence of comparable balcony, façade, architectural metalwork or safety-improvement projects would be well placed when this buyer next requires similar work.
