Summary of the contracting process

Peabody Trust commissioned professional fire engineering services for a refurbishment project at Chelsea Court. The work is classified as construction consultancy and concerns fire engineering input to the refurbishment. The contract is for a single requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom; the procurement data does not identify a more specific delivery location. Peabody Trust is the buyer. The requirement is therefore relevant to fire engineering and construction consultancy practices with expertise applicable to refurbishment projects, particularly those able to support a housing provider’s property works.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Peabody Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Robson Frankham Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 5 August 2026 to 6 December 2027. Its value is £32,400 including VAT. The procurement was treated as a single lot. The stated purpose was fire engineering services for the Chelsea Court refurbishment; the award was for construction consultancy services. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

This award shows Peabody Trust buying specialist fire engineering consultancy to support a refurbishment project, through a direct award rather than a competitive process. A credible supplier for similar work would need demonstrable fire engineering expertise and the ability to advise within a building refurbishment context. Robson Frankham Limited, the selected supplier, is recorded as an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a small or medium-sized business. The contract represents a focused, single-project consultancy requirement rather than a broad works package. Fire engineering consultancies able to provide proportionate specialist input to housing refurbishment projects are the closest fit for comparable requirements from this buyer.
