Summary of the contracting process

Harlow Council is procuring construction and fire-safety remedial works under the title Fire Safety and Planned Programme Works (Interim). The requirement covers outstanding and emerging fire risk assessment actions and directly connected works. It includes passive fire protection and compartmentation, including loft and roof-void compartmentation; fire stopping and cavity barriers; fire doors, door sets, components, fire-rated glazing and access panels; and active fire-protection systems when instructed. It also covers intrusive verification, surveys, inspections and testing, builders’ work, making good, access and temporary works, plus other fire-safety work ordered by the council. The procurement is divided into West, Central and East lots, covering West Essex and the stated delivery areas.

The process reached tender: Harlow Council invited offers using a selective restricted procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English by 29 September 2026. The contract period for the lots is 11 January 2027 to 11 December 2028. The estimated procurement value is £15,000,000 including the three lots; each lot is intended to result in a separate JCT Measured Term Contract 2024. The tender does not allow variant bids and does not provide for renewals or additional options. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published correction confirms that the works are divided into three lots, rather than being a single undivided contract, and corrects the location reference to West Essex.

This opportunity suits construction contractors and specialist fire-safety firms able to deliver remedial works across a term contract, either directly or through an established delivery team. Relevant capability includes passive fire protection, compartmentation, fire stopping, cavity barriers, fire doors and door sets, fire-rated glazing, access panels and associated making-good works. Suppliers may also need to undertake or coordinate intrusive verification, surveys, inspections and testing, and install active fire-protection systems when ordered. The requirement is suitable for businesses with the operational capacity to respond to outstanding and emerging fire-risk actions, manage access and temporary works, and deliver multiple work orders across the West, Central or East lot areas. Experience of measured-term construction contracting would be directly relevant.
