## Summary

Reading Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for comprehensive fire safety and compliance services across its housing portfolio in Reading, United Kingdom. This process involved an open procedure tender under the title "RBC - Fire Safety and Compliance," which sought to secure various services and works such as risk assessments, remediation works, and maintenance of fire safety equipment. The procurement, completed in 2026, involved multiple lots covering a spectrum of fire safety needs in high, medium, and low-risk residential buildings. Key contracts were awarded to DDS (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED and ATLANTIC FIRE LTD, with services scheduled between February 2026 and March 2028, including the potential for extension based on performance and funding availability.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for SMEs and specialised companies in the fire safety and compliance sector.
