Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation procured an assessment of fire doors at the Barbican. The requirement concerns inspecting and assessing existing fire doors, rather than supplying or installing new doors. It sits within fire-door services and building fire safety, with the Barbican in the City of London as the delivery location. The buyer is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to The FDI Ltd. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 17 September to 19 October 2026. Its gross value is £53,148. The award is active, and the contract is active. The requirement was for an assessment of fire doors; the available award information does not identify further evaluation criteria.

For suppliers positioning themselves for a future fire-door assessment for the City of London, this award demonstrates demand for specialist inspection and assessment at the Barbican. Credible competitors would need practical expertise in assessing fire doors and the ability to deliver a focused building-safety assignment for a large public-sector property owner. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold requirement, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate relevant technical capability and deliver the work efficiently if a comparable requirement returns. The selected provider is The FDI Ltd, a large supplier; the award does not establish specific accreditations or experience requirements.
