Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd procured fire risk assessment services to replace its outgoing contractor. The work is fire prevention and assessment, delivered across areas in South East England and the South West. It was arranged as a call-off from the Procurement Hub’s Strategic Asset Management Services framework, specifically its fire-related lot. The requirement is therefore for a supplier able to assess fire risks across the housing buyer’s property portfolio, rather than to provide general housing management or unrelated asset services. The buyer is based in Portsmouth.

The procurement is complete and Savills (UK) Limited was selected for the contract. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and has an awarded value of £500,000. The contract period is not stated. The buyer used a limited procedure without a published call for competition, making a direct award through the Procurement Hub framework; the stated rationale was compliance with the framework, with the procurement rationale also referring to extreme urgency. The requirement was treated as one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled in the tender data. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded. The award itself is marked active and the contract is active.

For suppliers monitoring VIVID Housing’s fire-safety requirements, this award shows demand for fire risk assessment services across properties in South East England and the South West, at a substantial portfolio scale. A credible competitor would need the capacity to assess multiple properties across these areas and deliver the service as a replacement for an outgoing contractor. The buying route used was a call-off from the Procurement Hub’s Strategic Asset Management Services framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to respond to a direct award would be commercially important if this requirement returns to market. Price was the stated basis for the award; competitive pricing would therefore be central, alongside the operational ability to complete the assessments reliably across the buyer’s housing portfolio. No particular accreditation or technical qualification is identified in the procurement information.」} keksozWinvalid? JSON proper unicode yes. Need issue contradiction mentioning lot cancelled because stage requirement says if award canceled? Lot marked cancelled, award active. Should report perhaps cancellation? Lot is cancelled likely bad data but explicit state; not claim outright? Should explain lot status contradictory. Strong?
