Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Air Force Museum commissioned replacement fire doors and remedial work identified through periodic inspections. The work covers fire-door supply and installation, with delivery across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is building fire-safety work for a museum operator, rather than a general door-installation requirement. The scope is centred on replacing doors and addressing defects found during inspections.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to VISO GROUP LTD. The museum used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, and the recorded award covers the fire-door replacement and remedial works. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 16 September to 31 December 2026. Its value is £70,568 excluding VAT (£84,682 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is recorded as active. The published procurement data does not give the evaluation criteria, so the award basis beyond the limited competition route cannot be stated.

This award shows demand from the Royal Air Force Museum for fire-door replacement and remedial works arising from periodic inspections, delivered across a broad area of England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine practical fire-door installation capability with the ability to identify and resolve defects revealed by inspection, and to organise delivery across multiple locations. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller business was selected for this contract; the data does not establish that SME status was a formal requirement or that the work was reserved for smaller firms. Suppliers whose experience is limited to installing doors without fire-safety remedial capability, or whose operations cannot support the geographic spread, may be less suited to this buyer’s requirement.
