UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council commissioned fire safety consultancy advice for its housing stock. The requirement covers specialist advice on fire safety and fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services, supporting the council’s management and assurance of residential properties. The buying organisation is Dacorum Borough Council, a local public authority based in Hemel Hempstead. The work relates to the council’s housing stock within its area. This is a professional services requirement rather than a construction or equipment supply contract, so relevant providers are fire safety consultants, fire risk specialists and organisations able to advise a housing authority on fire protection and control matters. The awarded supplier, Harmony Fire Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in this field.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Dacorum Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for the single requirement. Harmony Fire Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September to 31 December 2026. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT, or £36,000 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The published procurement information identifies the service as fire safety consultancy advice for housing stock and classifies it as a services purchase. The award relates to the whole requirement, with no separate competitive evaluation or scored award criteria set out.

This procurement demonstrates a local authority requirement for focused fire safety consultancy supporting council housing, delivered through a low-value direct-award route. Businesses seeking comparable work would need credible expertise in fire safety, fire protection and explosion-control consultancy, together with the ability to provide practical advice relevant to a housing stock environment. Experience working with public-sector housing providers would help demonstrate an understanding of resident safety, property portfolios, statutory responsibilities and assurance requirements. A suitable competitor would also need to operate at the scale expected of a short, specialist advisory engagement and provide clear, dependable professional outputs for a borough council. Harmony Fire Limited’s award shows that an SME can satisfy this type of requirement.
