## Summary

Ashford Borough Council is procuring fire safety equipment maintenance and repair services for properties and assets managed by its Housing Department and Corporate Property Department. The requirement covers planned and responsive maintenance, repairs and testing needed to keep fire safety equipment safe and in continuing use, alongside firefighting equipment installation work. This is a works contract focused on the inspection, servicing, repair and installation of equipment used for fire protection. Delivery is associated with the council’s property portfolio in and around Ashford. It is relevant to contractors providing fire safety equipment servicing, testing, repair and installation, particularly those able to support both housing and corporate property assets and respond to requirements across a public-sector estate.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Tenders were to be submitted electronically through the Delta eSourcing portal by 14 September 2026 at 10:00 BST. The single contract is scheduled to run from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2029. Its estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT. The contract is evaluated on quality and price, weighted 60% and 40% respectively. Electronic submission was allowed. The opportunity is not divided into multiple lots for suppliers; the published requirement is one lot covering the maintenance, repair, testing and installation scope. The tender is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits specialist fire safety and firefighting equipment contractors with practical capability in scheduled maintenance, fault diagnosis, repair, inspection and testing. Businesses should be able to maintain equipment used across housing and corporate property settings and undertake installation work where required. The scope is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be accessible to established local or regional specialists as well as larger fire protection contractors. Strong bidders are likely to have relevant experience managing varied public, residential or commercial property portfolios, with the workforce, systems and response capacity to handle planned and reactive requirements. The quality-led evaluation places greater emphasis on the proposed service approach and delivery capability than on price alone.
