Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council awarded a single-supplier framework for the retrofit of sprinkler systems and associated building works in high-rise properties across its area. The scope covers the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of systems at Avon Tower and Clyde Tower in Motherwell, including alterations to existing systems where required. Associated work includes accredited fire stopping around service penetrations, boxing-in of pipework and other builders’ work. The procurement is for construction and specialist fire-protection works, with electrical and related building services included. Delivery is within the North Lanarkshire Council geographical area, with the identified properties in Motherwell. The council is the buying organisation and the framework is intended for a single suitable main contractor responsible for delivering the complete requirement.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. One bid was received and evaluated on quality, weighted at 40%, and price, weighted at 60%. The award decision period began on 23 March 2026, with bids opened at 12:00 on that date. Harmony Fire Ltd was awarded the single framework position. The contract was signed on 21 May 2026 and is active, with a value of £10,000,000. The framework has a duration of 1,080 days and North Lanarkshire Council reserves the right to extend it by a further 12 months. It is a single-lot arrangement with one maximum participant. Bids had to remain valid for 180 days and variants were not permitted.

This requirement is most relevant to main contractors and specialist fire-protection firms able to deliver complete sprinkler retrofit projects in occupied or complex high-rise buildings. A credible future competitor would need capability across system design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning, together with associated electrical and builders’ works. The buyer required a UKAS third-party-accredited sprinkler installer or BAFE registration for sprinkler installations. Electrical installation capability needed NICEIC membership, SELECT membership, or LPCB-approved installer status. Experience coordinating fire stopping, pipework boxing-in, alterations to existing systems and building interfaces would strengthen a supplier’s position. The single-supplier model indicates that the council values a contractor able to take end-to-end responsibility rather than provide an isolated trade package.
