## Summary

The University of Cumbria procured fire and smoke damper inspection, testing, maintenance and associated remedial works across its estate. The service covers a diverse property portfolio, including teaching, research, laboratory, residential, heritage and high-occupancy buildings. Work takes place in live environments where business continuity, student safety and statutory compliance are critical. This is a specialist building safety and planned maintenance service, classified under CPV 50222100 for repair and maintenance services of dampers. The buyer is The University of Cumbria, based in Cumbria. The requirement was structured as one service lot and has been delivered for the University estate by an appointed specialist contractor.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Premier Compliance UK Ltd. The University used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2029, with an option for two 12-month renewals extending the maximum period to 11 August 2031. The awarded contract value is £27,950 excluding VAT, or £33,540 including VAT. One service lot was completed and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process, with the successful supplier selected to provide inspection, testing, maintenance and remedial works for fire and smoke dampers across the University estate.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from The University of Cumbria for specialist fire damper compliance services across a complex, mixed-use estate. Competitors seeking similar work would need proven capability in inspecting and testing fire and smoke dampers, carrying out planned maintenance and delivering remedial works when defects are found. Experience of working safely in occupied teaching, research, laboratory, residential, heritage and high-occupancy buildings would be important, as would the operational capacity to protect business continuity while maintaining statutory compliance and student safety. The appointed supplier is a large specialist compliance business, indicating that credible competitors should be able to manage a broad estate-wide service rather than isolated maintenance tasks.
