## Summary

The procurement process, managed by Babergh District Council and Mid Suffolk District Council, aimed to contract for fire risk assessments and fire door surveys for properties they oversee. While this contract was initially set for the tender stage and involved parties from Ipswich and Orpington, its eventual cancellation occurred on 18th February 2026. The process fell under the industry category of 'Construction consultancy services' and included assessments of residential, corporate, and other properties. Although the initial tender date was 19th June 2025 with procurement status as active, the award wasn't granted due to non-compliance with mandatory requirements by the bidders. This tender followed an "open procedure" procurement method and was valued at £1,590,000 gross, with competition focusing on pricing and technical criteria.

Despite its cancellation, the tender offered substantial growth opportunities for companies specialising in fire risk assessments and consultancy services. The extensive nature of the contract, which included various types of surveys and assessments, could benefit firms skilled in architectural and building-surveying services. SMEs and VCSEs could have found this tender particularly attractive due to its open procurement method, favouring entities that met economic and technical criteria as outlined in the tender documents. The proposed contractual period suggested potential long-term engagement, providing room for businesses to plan and scale over multiple years, with considerations for renewals and extensions based on performance. Though no contract was awarded, understanding the requirements can guide interested businesses in preparing for similar future opportunities.
