Summary of the contracting process

Loreburn Housing Association is seeking a fire risk assessor to carry out fire risk assessments in both domestic and non-domestic premises. The work covers workplaces and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), supporting the association’s housing and property safety responsibilities. Delivery is across Dumfries and Galloway. This is a fire safety consultancy and inspection service, rather than construction or fire protection installation. The requirement is classified under fire protection services (CPV 75251110). The appointed provider will assess a range of property types and should be able to work across the employer’s relevant housing and workplace portfolio. The buyer is Loreburn Housing Association, based in Dumfries, and the opportunity concerns one service lot.

The procurement has reached tender: Loreburn Housing Association invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids must be received by 9 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bid opening is scheduled for the same time, with evaluation beginning then. The contract is for 720 days, approximately two years, and bids must remain valid for 180 days after submission. It is a single lot, with variants not permitted and no renewal or additional-purchase option. Assessment includes suitability, including enrolment in the relevant professional or trade register; UK-established bidders are directed to the Companies House Register or an equivalent overseas register. The tender also requires bidders to provide staff names and qualifications. English is the submission language.

This opportunity suits specialist fire risk assessment consultancies, fire safety professionals and surveying firms with the technical capability to assess both non-domestic premises and domestic buildings, including workplaces and houses in multiple occupation. Suppliers should be able to deploy appropriately qualified staff, identify and document fire risks across varied property types, and manage a programme of assessments across Dumfries and Galloway. The requirement favours businesses with established professional or trade registration arrangements and the capacity to name the personnel who will undertake the work, together with their qualifications. It may also suit firms already working with housing associations, landlords, property managers or public-sector estates, particularly where they can demonstrate reliable fieldwork, consistent reporting and suitable operational coverage.
