Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council procured remedial works to a sprinkler system water storage tank after mandatory tank inspections. The requirement concerned fire suppression infrastructure and associated fireproofing work, rather than the supply of general goods or routine building maintenance. The work was for delivery in Doncaster. It is relevant to businesses that install, inspect, repair or remediate sprinkler-system water storage and fire-protection infrastructure, particularly contractors able to address defects identified through mandatory inspections. The buying organisation is the council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement was structured as a single package covering the water-storage and sprinkler remedial works, so suppliers would need to undertake the requirement as one connected scope.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. City of Doncaster Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. A&F Sprinklers Services Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 22 May 2026 and ran from 25 May 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its value was £40,000 excluding VAT and £48,000 including VAT. The award covered the single package of sprinkler water-storage remedial works and fire suppression-related fireproofing work. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active contract. The route was therefore a below-threshold, non-competitive purchase rather than an open tender with bids assessed against published quality and price criteria.

This award is useful market evidence for specialist sprinkler and fire-protection contractors. A credible competitor for the council’s future requirement would need to diagnose and remedy defects in sprinkler-system water storage tanks, understand fire suppression systems, and carry out associated fireproofing works safely and effectively. The work arose from mandatory tank inspections, so firms should be able to respond to inspection findings and translate them into practical remedial work. Relevant capability includes managing a connected water-storage and sprinkler scope for a public authority, coordinating site works, and delivering compliant fire-protection outcomes. Businesses with established technical teams, suitable equipment and demonstrable experience in comparable remedial projects would be best placed when this requirement returns to market.
