UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Vale of Glamorgan Council is seeking one contractor to provide a comprehensive fire-door maintenance service for domestic properties throughout the Vale of Glamorgan area. The work covers installation, inspection, maintenance, servicing and repair of fire doors, with the purpose of ensuring compliance with current fire-door and fire-stopping legislation. This is a building and fire-protection works requirement, including fire-door installation, carpentry installation and associated building completion work. The appointed contractor will be responsible for managing the service across the council’s domestic housing stock and for delivering the practical works needed to maintain safe, compliant fire doors. Suppliers operating in fire-door installation, inspection, servicing, repair and related building works should consider this opportunity.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot. Questions may be submitted until 21 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers must be submitted by 1 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract is planned to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with a possible 12-month renewal extending the maximum period to 30 November 2030. Its estimated value is £2.5 million excluding VAT and £3 million including VAT. Evaluation is based on price at 50%, quality at 40%, and community well-being benefits at 10%. Quality covers methodology, health and safety, waste management, complaints and customer service, and quality control. Selection requirements are set out in the invitation-to-tender documentation.

This opportunity suits contractors with established fire-door and fire-stopping expertise, able to install, inspect, maintain, service and repair fire doors in domestic properties. Strong candidates will need practical building and carpentry capability, together with robust systems for demonstrating compliance with applicable legislation and fire-safety requirements. The evaluation places substantial emphasis on the quality of the proposed delivery methodology, health and safety arrangements, waste management, complaints and customer service, and quality control. Suppliers should therefore be able to show reliable operational processes, competent staff and effective oversight of work across multiple properties. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Experience managing a council or housing-maintenance service would be relevant, particularly where consistent inspection records, responsive repairs and customer-facing service are required.
