UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College commissioned fire safety consultancy for its university operations in Egham. The call-off services cover technical fire engineering support, including reviewing fire strategies using fire engineering principles; reviews of fire risk assessments for complex and heritage buildings; and independent audits and peer reviews of existing assessments. The consultant is also responsible for reviewing, developing and completing fire strategies, and advising on fire safety and compliance throughout project lifecycles, from design development through construction completion and handover. The work is health and safety consultancy focused specifically on fire safety. Services are commissioned by the University as required during the contract term, rather than as a fixed volume of work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Royal Holloway and Bedford New College selected FIRE SAFETY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 7 August 2026 to 2 August 2028. Its value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£100,000 including VAT). The procurement used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. It was arranged as one lot. The contract operates on a call-off basis, with services ordered as the University requires them; there is no guaranteed minimum spend, work volume or service value. No award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the available process data.

For suppliers considering comparable future fire safety consultancy for Royal Holloway, this award indicates demand for specialist, responsive advice rather than a guaranteed workload. Credible providers would need to demonstrate fire engineering expertise, including the ability to review strategies; experience assessing complex and heritage buildings; and competence in independent audit and peer review of fire risk assessments. The scope also favours consultants able to develop and complete fire strategies and advise on compliance across a project’s full lifecycle, from design through construction and handover. The work spans both technical assessment and practical project support. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver services on an as-needed call-off basis, with capacity to respond to varying requirements rather than relying on a committed volume of commissions. The procurement was awarded directly without competition.
