Summary of the contracting process

Irwell Valley Housing Association Limited is seeking fire risk assessment and associated consultancy services across its housing portfolio. The work covers risk or hazard assessments other than for construction, supporting the housing association’s fire safety management and compliance needs. Services are to be delivered across the North West of England, including the area around Greater Manchester, for properties within the association’s portfolio. The buyer is based in Sale, Greater Manchester. This is a services requirement suited to organisations that provide fire risk assessments, fire safety consultancy and related technical advice for housing providers, landlords or other property portfolios. The requirement is presented as a single package covering the housing portfolio rather than separate specialist services or construction works.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 24 September 2026 at 12:00 noon, and offers had to be submitted electronically by 6 October 2026 at 12:00 noon through the buyer’s In-Tend portal. The estimated total value is £172,800 gross, with the lot value recorded as AED 172,800. The initial contract period is 9 November 2026 to 8 November 2027. The arrangement can be extended through optional annual extensions, up to 8 November 2030, subject to contractor performance and the buyer’s requirements. Evaluation is weighted 60% quality and 40% price. Participation is reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises in the United Kingdom.

This opportunity suits specialist fire safety consultancies and competent fire risk assessment providers with the technical ability to assess housing properties and produce reliable assessment findings and associated advice. Relevant suppliers are likely to have experience working across residential portfolios, particularly for housing associations, social landlords or other organisations responsible for occupied homes and communal areas. The requirement may suit smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises because participation is reserved for those supplier types in the United Kingdom. Businesses should be able to provide a consistent service across multiple properties and manage the professional, reporting and advisory workload associated with a housing portfolio. The quality weighting makes the proposed approach, technical competence and service delivery arrangements important alongside price.
