## Summary

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation has concluded the procurement process for a critical fire compartmentation project involving the Neptune Building. This project, focused in Portsmouth, United Kingdom, falls under the industry category of works, specifically targeting fire protection upgrades. The tender, initiated to ensure the safety and compliance of fire doors within the building, was completed between February and mid-March 2026. The procurement stage was categorised as award and contract, highlighting the conclusion of the supplier selection process, with BRIAN MABE FIRE PROTECTION LTD, based in Portsmouth, appointed for this crucial refurbishment work. The contract, below threshold and valued at £26,200, began on the 2nd of February 2026.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for firms specialising in fire safety, refurbishment works, and installation services. Given the urgent need for upgrading fire doors to comply with statutory fire safety regulations, businesses adept in manufacturing and installing fire doors, offering refurbishment services, or specialising in fire protection installations would benefit from engaging in similar public contracts. SMEs, like BRIAN MABE FIRE PROTECTION LTD, with expertise in fire safety standards and refurbishment proficiency, are well positioned to leverage such procurement opportunities to enhance their project portfolio and credibility in the industry.

## Notice

Critical fire compartmentation works (specifically the retrospective upgrade and localised replacement of damaged fire doors in the stair core up to floor 4), identified in the December 2025 Fire Door Audit remain incomplete. Without these works, the building cannot be safely opened to staff or students. The doors in the central stair core form the primary internal means of escape. Until they are correctly installed and compliant, the stair core cannot function as a protected escape route in the event of a fire, making the building unsafe for occupancy and preventing legal or safe use by staff, students or visitors. It is therefore essential that all necessary fire compartmentation works are completed to the stair core (up to floor 4) in line with statutory fire safety requirements under Part B of the Building Regulations. Works must be carried out to the highest standard to ensure full compliance with current fire safety legislation and guidance. The appointment will cover the supply and installation of all new fire doors to the stair core (up to floor 4), including associated enabling works. The contract is expected to run from February 2026 (immediate start) to completion by mid-March 2026, ensuring readiness for Student Union occupation.
