## Summary

Kent County Council procured replacement fire doors for Slade Primary School. The requirement covered 13 non-compliant fire doors, with the work involving the supply and replacement of fire doors rather than general building maintenance. The procurement was managed for the council by Kent County Council, and the delivery site was Slade Primary School in Kent. The awarded supplier, Howes S E Ltd, is an SME. This requirement is relevant to fire-door manufacturers, specialist fire-safety contractors, joinery and installation businesses, and building contractors with the capability to remove and replace non-compliant doors in a primary-school setting. Businesses offering compliant fire-door products and associated installation services would be closest to the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and an award was made to Howes S E Ltd under a below-threshold procedure. The award covered one lot and was recorded at £31,080 excluding VAT, or £37,296 including VAT. The award was dated 22 September 2025, with the contract period stated as 20 October 2025 to 31 August 2026. The contract was terminated on 20 October 2025 because the contract details notice had been published in error and no contract with the supplier came into force. The recorded final value was £0. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s below-threshold route; the available procurement record does not set out separate quality, price or technical weighting.

This procurement demonstrates a specific council requirement for replacing non-compliant fire doors in a primary school, involving a defined batch of 13 doors. A credible future supplier would need to identify suitable compliant fire-door products, assess existing doors or specifications, manage removal and installation, and work safely around a live education environment. Relevant experience would include fire-door replacement, passive fire protection, school or public-sector building works, and meeting applicable fire-safety and building requirements. The requirement is also suitable evidence for businesses that can combine supply with installation rather than only sell doors. A competitor should be able to demonstrate reliable delivery, competent installation teams, quality assurance, and the capacity to complete a small, focused package of remedial work for Kent County Council.
