## Summary

Housing 21 commissioned fire-stopping works following bolster reports at various courts. The requirement falls within fire-prevention installation works and is intended to address identified fire-safety issues in housing court buildings. Delivery covered locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. Housing 21, based in Birmingham, is the buying organisation. This is a works requirement rather than the supply of equipment alone: relevant businesses are contractors able to investigate and carry out fire-stopping or related fire-prevention installation works across multiple court locations. The awarded supplier was an SME specialising in fire protection.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ARK Fire Protection Ltd. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026, runs from 6 July 2026 to 27 November 2026, and has a value of £274,318.20 excluding VAT, or £329,181.84 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the fire-stopping works. The contract is active. The published information identifies the requirement and procurement route, but does not set out an award date or detailed scoring criteria. This outcome indicates that Housing 21 selected a specialist fire-protection contractor for a short, multi-location programme of remedial works following bolster reports.

This procurement demonstrates Housing 21’s demand for specialist fire-stopping and fire-prevention installation works across its court locations. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need practical experience diagnosing and rectifying fire-safety defects identified through bolster reports, together with the workforce, supervision and operational systems to deliver remedial works across multiple English locations. The awarded supplier’s SME status shows that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Businesses with proven fire-protection installation capability, suitable project management and the capacity to coordinate work across several regions would be well placed to monitor this buyer’s future requirements and demonstrate comparable delivery experience.
