## Summary

Housing 21, a public authority within the sub-central government, is initiating a procurement process focused on the supply and installation of P50 fire extinguishers across over 500 courts in the UK. This procurement is currently in the planning phase, with a market engagement document due by 19th March 2026. The main procurement category is goods, particularly fire extinguishers, under the CPV classification 35111300. The tender exercise is expected to occur in 2026, and the installation of over 4,000 fire extinguishers will commence in October 2026, spanning an 18-month period. The project is scheduled for a potential contract renewal and completion by October 2031, with further planning exercises anticipated thereafter.

The market engagement process offers significant business growth opportunities for companies skilled in fire extinguisher supply and installation. Businesses that can provide innovative solutions or insights into design and capability in this sector will be well-suited to engage with Housing 21’s procurement strategy. With a focus on developing specifications based on supplier feedback, companies participating in this exercise can shape future contract opportunities, aligning product offerings with public safety requirements. This initiative is an excellent avenue for enterprises looking to extend their reach within the public sector and demonstrate expertise in fire safety equipment provision.
