## Summary

Babergh District Council, in collaboration with Mid Suffolk District Council, has completed a direct award contract for fire risk assessment consultancy, with Ridge And Partners LLP as the supplier. The procurement process, which followed the 'limited' method under the PfH Framework, focused on fire-prevention services in the UKH region. This award pertains to various assessments and surveys for properties managed by both councils. The procurement was initiated through a tender revision due to initial challenges in compliance by previous bidders, with the contract valued at £2,226,000 and signed on 1st November 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fire-prevention services, particularly those with capabilities in conducting detailed visual and intrusive fire door surveys and comprehensive fire risk assessments across different property types such as residential, corporate, and temporary accommodations. Large-scale service providers, with the expertise to adapt to stringent quality (70%) and cost (30%) criteria, stand in a strong position to benefit from similar future tenders, enhancing their portfolio and expanding their footprint within the public sector procurement landscape in the UKH region.
