UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lace Housing Limited is buying fire safety improvement works for its housing stock. The scope covers compartment window improvements, firestopping work and installation of new fire doors where required. This is a building safety and fire protection works requirement, classified as repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is based in Lincoln. The requirement is relevant to contractors able to carry out passive fire protection works, fire door installation and associated building fabric improvements across multiple English regions. It may suit businesses with the operational coverage and site management arrangements needed to deliver work across a geographically dispersed housing portfolio.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed. The selected supplier is Freedom Fire & Security Maintenance Limited, an SME based in Lincoln. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 24 October 2026. Its value is £66,770 excluding VAT, or £80,124 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The award covered the full fire safety improvement works requirement, including compartment window improvements, firestopping detail and new fire doors as required. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the contract terms, but does not provide a separate award date or detailed scoring breakdown.

This award shows that Lace Housing buys practical, multi-region fire safety improvement work through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven capability in passive fire protection, firestopping, compartmentation-related building work and the supply and installation of compliant fire doors. Contractors should also be able to inspect existing housing stock, identify defects, coordinate several work types and complete remedial works safely within occupied or operational properties where required by the specification. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of work can be delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than only by a major national contractor. Businesses with reliable surveying, installation, quality assurance and regional delivery capacity would be well placed to compete when comparable work returns to the market.
