## Summary

Harlow District Council procured an interim fire risk assessment works programme covering fire safety remedial and planned works to its buildings in Harlow and the surrounding Harlow district. The work is intended to support compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Building Safety Act 2022 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, while also improving the Decent Homes standard. It forms an interim programme to support preparation and procurement of a wider five-year fire risk assessment programme. The main category is construction and building works, specifically fire-prevention installation works. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is associated with the Harlow area in England.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the method recorded as unknown. One lot was awarded to TRAIL GROUP LIMITED, an SME. The contract was signed on 27 March 2026 and runs from 30 April 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its value is £1,650,000 excluding VAT and £1,980,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the fire safety remedial and planned works programme for the single lot. The published outcome identifies TRAIL GROUP LIMITED as the selected supplier; no separate award date or evaluation weighting is recorded in the procurement outcome.

This procurement indicates sustained demand from Harlow District Council for contractors able to deliver fire safety remedial and planned works across occupied or managed public-sector buildings. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in fire-prevention installation and the capacity to manage a substantial programme of corrective and planned work, rather than isolated installations. Experience of working to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Building Safety Act 2022 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 would be directly relevant, alongside the ability to improve housing quality against the Decent Homes standard. Suppliers should also be able to support programme planning and mobilisation for a broader, multi-year fire risk assessment works requirement.

## Notice

Award of a contract for Fire Safety Remedial and Planned Works Programme for a duration of twelve (12) months, enabling the preparation and procurement of a wider 5 year FRA programme. The works will ensure compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Building Safety Act 2022, and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, as well as improve the Decent Homes standard of the buildings.
