Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited procured servicing and maintenance of portable firefighting equipment. This is a specialist fire-safety maintenance service covering portable firefighting equipment, including repair and upkeep activities. The requirement was organised as a single lot and delivered across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, the West Midlands, the East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The buyer is a housing group based in Middlesbrough. The work is relevant to fire-protection contractors that inspect, service, maintain and repair portable firefighting equipment across a geographically broad housing portfolio. The associated classification covers firefighting equipment and repair and maintenance services for firefighting equipment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. SAFE & SURE FIRE PROTECTION LIMITED was awarded the single lot on 1 August 2026. The active contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £40,543.20. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, with competition restricted below the applicable threshold. The outcome identifies one selected supplier for the full requirement. Businesses assessing this opportunity should therefore treat it as an awarded contract and use the published scope, route to market, geographic coverage, contract duration and awarded scale as reference points for future engagement with this buyer.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Thirteen Housing Group for planned servicing, maintenance and repair of portable firefighting equipment across properties in multiple English regions. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical competence in portable fire-extinguisher and firefighting-equipment maintenance, together with the operational capacity to support a broad geographic estate. Relevant experience should include carrying out scheduled inspections, servicing, repairs and maintenance safely and consistently across housing locations. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Companies considering similar work should be able to demonstrate reliable field coverage, responsive maintenance capability, appropriate fire-protection expertise and the systems needed to manage work across a dispersed portfolio.
