## Summary

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council procured building safety assessment and fire-prevention works for all 21 of its high-rise residential blocks. The requirement covers assessments of each block and associated corrective works where appropriate, with the purpose of identifying and addressing building safety and passive fire protection issues. It is primarily a works contract, including fire-prevention installation works (CPV 45343000), supported by building consultancy, surveying and inspection services. Delivery is across the council’s high-rise housing stock in the West Midlands. The buyer is Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, based at Council House, Priory Road, Dudley. The requirement combines specialist inspection and assessment capability with the practical delivery of remedial passive fire protection works in occupied or operational residential buildings.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Harmony Fire Ltd on 20 January 2026. It was a selective direct award call-off from the EEM Framework for Passive Fire Protection, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 1 December 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The awarded value is £10,000,000. The contract period runs from 26 January 2026 to 25 January 2028. The award is active, with Harmony Fire Ltd named as the supplier. The procurement’s stated basis was a framework direct award for passive fire protection, covering the council-wide requirement for assessments and associated corrective works. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates demand for a substantial, end-to-end passive fire protection capability in high-rise residential buildings. A credible future competitor would need to combine building safety assessment, building surveying and building inspection skills with the ability to specify, manage and complete corrective fire-prevention works. Experience working across a portfolio of 21 high-rise blocks would be relevant, particularly where inspections lead directly to remedial delivery rather than stand-alone reports. Suppliers should be able to manage a large, multi-building programme for a local authority and demonstrate robust technical, operational and quality-control arrangements. The selected supplier is a large business, and the procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that comparable scale, capacity and specialist fire-protection expertise are likely to matter when this requirement returns to market.
