Summary of the contracting process

Calderdale and Huddersfield Solutions Limited procured authorising engineer services for fire safety, including advice and support on project-specific works. The requirement covers advisory and consultative engineering services associated with fire safety management, delivered for the organisation’s activities in the Huddersfield area. The buyer is based at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and the service relates to its estate and associated projects. The appointed provider is expected to act as an authorising engineer, offering specialist technical oversight and practical support rather than supplying equipment or carrying out general construction. The requirement is classified as services and is focused on maintaining proactive fire safety arrangements through professional engineering advice, review and site-based support.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The single lot is complete, and the active contract was awarded to AH Fire Ltd. The contract was signed on 31 October 2025 and runs from 31 October 2025 to 30 October 2030, with an option to extend by up to a further five years, to a maximum extent date of 30 October 2035. Its value is £102,000 excluding VAT and £122,400 including VAT. The agreed performance measure requires four scheduled site visits per year to support proactive fire safety management. The contract is active and the award has not been cancelled or terminated.

This procurement indicates sustained demand from the buyer for a specialist fire safety authorising engineer able to provide formal technical advice, support project-specific works and maintain proactive oversight across a healthcare estate. A credible future competitor would need sufficient fire engineering expertise to advise on compliance and risk, work with project teams, and carry out planned site visits consistently. The requirement favours a supplier with the capacity to provide continuing professional input rather than one-off consultancy, including dependable scheduling, site-based assessment and clear reporting to the client. Experience of working in complex operational buildings, particularly healthcare or similarly safety-critical environments, would help demonstrate the competence and organisational resilience needed for this type of service.
