## Summary

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned fire risk assessment services for its residential housing stock. The requirement covers consistent, high-quality assessments across more than 1,200 residential buildings, with the purpose of protecting residents and meeting the Council’s specifications. This is a public-sector safety consultancy service, covering fire prevention, risk or hazard assessment, building consultancy, building-fabric considerations, and health and safety advice. Delivery is across the Council’s residential buildings in Rotherham and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber area. The appointed provider is expected to act as an external specialist contractor, rather than as an internal Council service. The opportunity is relevant to businesses with established capability in fire risk assessments for housing or other substantial building portfolios.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a tender process. The contract was awarded to Firntec Ltd on 28 July 2026 for £418,250. The awarded contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2031. The wider procurement records a contract period from 22 May 2026 to 21 May 2031, while the tender submission deadline was 27 March 2026 at 16:00. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation was against the Council’s stated specifications for delivering high-quality, consistent fire risk assessments. There were no lots recorded, so the award covers the requirement as a single contract. The successful supplier is Firntec Ltd.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council for outsourced fire risk assessment services across a large residential portfolio. A credible future competitor would need qualified fire safety assessors, strong knowledge of residential buildings and building fabric, and the capacity to deliver consistent assessments across more than 1,200 properties. Experience in identifying fire hazards, assessing risk, recommending proportionate remedial action and producing clear, auditable reports would be important. Suppliers should also be able to work to detailed public-sector specifications, manage a substantial programme of site visits and maintain quality control across multiple assessors. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, so specialist firms with robust delivery systems and relevant housing, health and safety or building consultancy experience could be well placed when this requirement returns to market.
