Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority procured the repair and replacement of fire doors at Westlea Fire Station in response to an immediate need identified through a risk assessment. The requirement covered fire doors as goods, including the associated repair or replacement work needed to address the station’s fire-safety needs. The buying organisation is a public fire and rescue authority based in Salisbury, and the work was for Westlea Fire Station. The procurement was structured as a single requirement rather than separate work packages. It is relevant to fire-door manufacturers, installers, repair specialists and fire-protection contractors able to assess, supply and carry out remedial work on fire doors in operational public-sector premises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and ran from 29 July to 21 August 2026. Its gross value was £38,880. BRIAN MABE FIRE PROTECTION LTD was selected as the supplier, and the contract is recorded as active. The award covered the single requirement for repair or replacement of fire doors. The stated basis for the procurement was an immediate need following a risk assessment, rather than a competitive evaluation against published quality or price criteria. The work was therefore commissioned directly to address the identified fire-door requirement.

For competitors, this procurement demonstrates that Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority buys specialist fire-door repair and replacement services when a risk assessment identifies an urgent safety requirement. A credible supplier for similar work would need practical capability in fire doors and fire protection, including the ability to determine whether doors require repair or replacement and to complete the resulting work at a fire station. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized fire-protection company, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant businesses should understand public-sector fire-safety requirements and be equipped to respond to urgent remedial needs.
