Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured fire-stopping and fire-door remedial works. The requirement covers work to address fire-stopping and fire-door defects, classified as fireproofing work (CPV 45343100). The contract is for works, with the delivery location recorded as the United Kingdom. UKRI is the buying organisation. The procurement was organised as one lot, so the requirement was not split into separately described work packages. This is a building fire-safety remedials contract rather than a supply-only purchase or a general facilities maintenance service. Its stated scope is limited to fire stopping and fire door remedials; no wider building refurbishment or ongoing maintenance requirement is described.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded by direct award. UKRI selected AFML (Airport Facilities Maintenance Limited). The award was made on 2 October 2026, and the contract was signed on 6 October 2026. The contract runs from 15 October to 31 December 2026. Its value is £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). The procurement was treated as above the relevant threshold and justified under the stated legal basis concerning workplace health and safety and fire precautions. There is one lot, which was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate scoring or detailed evaluation criteria are set out in the published procurement information.

For suppliers preparing for a future requirement from UKRI, this award demonstrates demand for fire-stopping and fire-door remedial works, handled as a direct award and delivered within a short, defined contract period. A credible competitor would need to show the practical ability to inspect and carry out remedial work to fire-stopping systems and fire doors, and to complete it within a concentrated delivery programme. Evidence of relevant fire-safety remedials experience, competent operatives, and reliable coordination on UKRI sites would help demonstrate capability. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist contractors could be relevant where they can meet the operational and safety demands. The available procurement details do not set out specific accreditations or technical thresholds, so suppliers should focus on demonstrable competence in this precise works category.
