Summary of the contracting process

Vale of White Horse District Council is buying passive fire protection remedial works at its Abbey House premises in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The work covers repairs to fire doors and improvements to fire compartmentalisation within the building. It is a construction works contract for fire-prevention and protection installations (CPV 45343000). The tender documents include building schematics and fire survey reports describing the technical requirements. The delivery site is Abbey House, Abingdon.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender was issued to bidders wishing to undertake the works, with electronic submission allowed through the councils’ Proactis e-procurement system. The submission deadline set was 13 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The planned contract period runs from 18 January to 30 June 2027. The estimated contract value is £220,000 excluding VAT (£264,000 including VAT). This is a single-lot procurement. Bids are evaluated on quality, weighted at 40%, and price, weighted at 60%; further evaluation detail is in the tender documents.

This opportunity is suited to small and medium-sized businesses, as the procurement explicitly identifies SME suitability. It will suit contractors experienced in passive fire protection and remedial work to fire doors, with the capability to carry out fire compartmentalisation in an existing public building. Suppliers should be able to interpret building schematics and fire survey findings and plan compliant remedial works against those technical requirements. The scope combines work to individual fire doors with compartmentation measures, so bidders need capacity to deliver both elements as a coordinated package at one council premises. Quality accounts for a substantial part of the assessment alongside price, making a clear technical approach to the specified works commercially relevant.
