Summary of the contracting process

Procure Plus Holdings Limited procured fire risk assessment consultancy services for Warrington Housing Association, which acted as the customer contracting authority. The work was to provide fire risk assessments, supporting the housing association’s fire safety responsibilities. The service sits within fire protection and prevention consultancy, including assessment of fire risks rather than physical installation or building works. The procurement was made under an established framework, with delivery recorded in the United Kingdom. The requirement was handled as one contract rather than divided into separately described service lots. Pennington Choices Limited was appointed to provide the consultancy.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Procure Plus selected Pennington Choices Limited directly under an established framework; the process was selective and below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 17 August to 2 October 2026. Its gross value is £39,770.54. The award was for one lot and went to Pennington Choices Limited. The published data does not state a separate award decision date or explain the evaluation criteria, so no scoring basis can be described. Warrington Housing Association was the customer contracting authority for the call-off, while Procure Plus Holdings Limited was the buyer managing the procurement.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Warrington Housing Association through Procure Plus, this award demonstrates demand for focused fire risk assessment consultancy delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to show that it can provide competent fire risk assessors, produce usable assessments and meet the client’s requirements across the relevant housing portfolio. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized business, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than a large provider. The procurement data does not state specific qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or assessment volumes, so these cannot be treated as confirmed conditions of the work. Experience in fire safety consultancy and the ability to deliver the required assessment service are the clearest relevant capabilities.
