Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd procured fire-stopping and compartmentation works for medium-risk priority actions. The requirement falls within fire-prevention installation works (CPV 45343000) and is intended to address building safety and compliance needs in housing. Delivery covers South East England and South West England. VIVID Housing Ltd is based in Portsmouth and is the public-sector housing buyer. The requirement was structured as a call-off from the Fusion 21 Building Safety and Compliance framework, specifically its Passive Fire Protection category. The work concerns physical measures that prevent fire and smoke spreading between compartments, supporting the safety and compliance of housing stock. It is a works requirement rather than a supply-only or consultancy opportunity, and is relevant to contractors delivering passive fire protection, fire stopping and associated compartmentation remediation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, through the Fusion 21 framework; the stated rationale was extreme urgency caused by unforeseeable events. The requirement was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. ABCA Systems Limited was awarded the contract for the requirement, with an awarded contract value of £500,000. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and is active. The procurement was arranged as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the associated award remains active. No separate contract duration or end date is stated. The outcome therefore demonstrates a single-supplier call-off rather than an open competition, with the selected supplier appointed for the fire-stopping and compartmentation works.

This award identifies a recurring housing-sector need for contractors able to deliver passive fire protection and compartmentation remediation across the South East and South West of England. A credible future competitor would need practical experience investigating and rectifying fire-stopping defects and completing medium-risk priority actions in occupied or operational housing environments. The work is delivered through the Fusion 21 Building Safety and Compliance framework, Passive Fire Protection category, so suppliers targeting similar requirements would need access to that route or an equivalent compliant framework arrangement. The buyer selected on price in this call-off, making cost control, clear remedial scopes and efficient delivery important commercial capabilities. The appointed supplier was a large company, indicating capacity to manage a sizeable housing compliance programme across multiple locations.
