Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited appointed Maze Fire Consulting Limited to provide active fire consultancy services for the group’s 2026–2030 fire programme. The requirement is classified as fire and explosion protection and control consultancy (CPV 71317100). Orbit Group is based in Coventry; the service is described as covering the United Kingdom. The procurement was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Active Fire Framework, under its sub-lot 2.3. This is specialist consultancy rather than the supply of fire equipment or building works, so it is most relevant to firms advising on active fire safety and related protection and control requirements for housing organisations.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Maze Fire Consulting Limited. The award was made on 10 August 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. The award value is £316,100 excluding VAT (£379,320 including VAT). The contract records a period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028; the award records a start date of 1 October 2026 and the same end date. The requirement was procured selectively as an award under the Northern Housing Consortium framework, without a competitive call-off. There was one lot, and the published information gives no separate evaluation criteria for this appointment.

For fire safety consultancies, this award shows that Orbit Group buys active fire consultancy through the Northern Housing Consortium’s specialist framework route. The successful supplier, Maze Fire Consulting Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that this scale of housing-sector consultancy can be delivered by an SME. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need relevant expertise in active fire protection and control and the capacity to support a housing group’s programme across its UK operations. Experience providing this kind of consultancy through a framework would also be pertinent, since Orbit used the Northern Housing Consortium framework for this appointment. The procurement points to demand for advisory services rather than equipment supply or construction work.
