## Summary

In this procurement process, Ipswich Borough Council acted as the purchasing entity for passive fire protection works across general needs properties in the East of England. The tender fell under the industry category of installation services of fire protection equipment, with a contract value of GBP 5,000,000. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract award phase is complete, with Mulalley & Co Ltd emerging as the supplier of choice. The contract period commenced on 3rd March 2026 and is set to conclude on 28th February 2029. Notable dates include the tender period ending on 6th October 2025 and the award date taking place on 28th December 2025.

This tender represents significant business growth potential within the fire protection sector, particularly for large-scale enterprises. Businesses equipped to provide comprehensive installation services for fire prevention would find the project scope well-suited to their capabilities. While the tender selection was complete, engagements within the framework agreement offer further prospects for companies looking to strengthen their market presence via selective procurement channels managed by Ipswich Borough Council. The partnership with Mulalley & Co Ltd highlights opportunities primarily for larger firms lacking VCSE affiliation due to the project's demanding requirements and scale.
