Summary of the contracting process

Poplar HARCA is seeking consultancy services to carry out fire risk assessments. The work is described as a Fire Risk Assessments Contract, classified as building-inspection services, and is intended to support the housing association’s property portfolio. The procurement is managed by Poplar HARCA, with Faithorn Farrell Timms acting as procurement consultant. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers assessment work rather than building works or the supply of equipment. Its scale may be affected by changes in the number of properties and the volume of services required during the contract.

Poplar HARCA invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 11 January 2027 at 12:00, with enquiries due by 5 January 2027 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 27 August 2027 to 26 August 2032, with an option to extend by up to five years following satisfactory reviews, giving a maximum term of ten years. The estimated annual value is around £150,000–£200,000 excluding VAT; the stated total estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT. The award decision was due by 17 June 2027. Evaluation weights quality at 60%, social value at 10% and price at 30%. There is one lot, and economic and technical selection criteria apply.

This requirement suits fire risk assessment consultancies and building-inspection firms able to deliver assessment services across a property portfolio over a sustained period. The buyer has indicated that the opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist providers may be well placed to compete alongside larger firms. The work calls for relevant technical capability and the ability to meet economic selection requirements. Suppliers should also be equipped to manage a service whose delivery may be affected by changes in legislation, regulatory requirements, operational standards, technology and property volumes. Quality and social value together account for most of the evaluation, so businesses with a strong service approach and credible social-value offer are relevant competitors.
