## Summary

The London Borough of Hillingdon has completed a procurement process to address urgent fire safety concerns at Union Park Estate, Uxbridge, United Kingdom. The project, titled "Waking Watch including Fire Fighters/Officers," falls under the services category and involved the implementation of a 24/7 Waking Watch to avert potential prohibition notices from the London Fire Brigade. This direct procurement method, conducted without competition as it was below the threshold, resulted in an active contract awarded to FIDUCIA SECURITY SERVICES LTD. The contract commenced on 17 August 2025 and concluded on 14 September 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in security and emergency response services, particularly those equipped to deploy fire marshals and associated personnel quickly. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as FIDUCIA SECURITY SERVICES LTD, are well-suited for such urgent contracts that require prompt mobilisation and efficient execution. Engaging in projects like this can enable businesses to showcase their capabilities in handling critical tasks, potentially increasing their competitiveness for future contracts within the public sector.

## Notice

An emergency situation had occurred following a Fire Risk Assessment at the Union Park Estate and the London Fire Brigade (LFB) had reacted accordingly to the intolerable risks and risk to life by initiating required emergency measures. The estate is made up of 9 blocks of flats containing 250 properties with 13 properties being leased by the Council with the remainder being Private Sector Housing. Failure to take urgent action and implementing a 24/7 Waking Watch including Fire Marshalls and specialist Fire Fighters/Officers, a prohibition notice could have been issued by the LFB on the managing agents and responsible officers which could have meant the immediate decanting of 250 plus families all at the cost to the Local Authority.
