## Summary

Bath & North East Somerset Council procured construction works to improve fire strategies across 17 Batch D properties. The requirement, titled Fire Strategy Improvements – Batch 17, concerns building and fire-safety improvement works for council-owned or managed residential properties. Delivery is in the Bath and North East Somerset area. The council is the public-sector buyer responsible for arranging the works. The procurement covers one package of related work rather than separate specialist lots. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include construction contractors with experience of fire-safety improvement programmes, property refurbishment and work in occupied or managed residential buildings. The requirement is focused on practical construction delivery arising from fire strategy improvements, rather than consultancy or standalone fire risk assessment services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One contract was awarded to N K S Contracts Limited. The award was made on 1 August 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £369,445.26 excluding VAT, or £443,334.31 including VAT. The tender description records a tendered sum of £369,445.26 excluding VAT. The contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure, described as a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot covering the full requirement. The award relates to construction works delivered for Bath & North East Somerset Council’s fire strategy improvement programme.

This procurement demonstrates that Bath & North East Somerset Council buys coordinated construction work to implement fire strategy improvements across groups of residential properties. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the ability to plan and deliver multiple property works as one managed programme, translate fire strategy requirements into practical remedial construction, and coordinate site activity across the council’s housing portfolio. Relevant experience would include fire-safety improvement works, building refurbishment, construction project management and safe delivery in occupied or operational properties. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist contractor can compete for this scale of council works. Contractors based in the wider Bath and Bristol area may also be well placed to support delivery across the local authority’s estate.
