## Summary

Aster Group Limited appointed building consultancy services for the reinstatement of Keel House, its 32-flat block in Weymouth, following a major fire. The building suffered extensive damage: 16 flats were destroyed, along with part of the roof, lift infrastructure and communal areas; eight other flats require selective strip-out and refurbishment, while the remaining eight need restoration work before reoccupation. The consultancy is to coordinate the design, approvals, insurance and delivery of the reinstatement programme, including managing specialist contractors and working with building control, planning authorities, structural engineers, insurance brokers, loss adjusters and insurers. The requirement is specialist building consultancy and project coordination for a complex residential fire-recovery project in Weymouth.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to 3SIXTY Consulting (UK) Limited. Aster used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from 30 October 2026 to 30 October 2027. Its gross value is £117,000. The published award records one completed lot, for building consultancy services. The requirement concerned coordination of the reinstatement programme, including design, approvals, insurance and delivery, and the management of multiple specialist contractors and stakeholders. No evaluation criteria are recorded for this award; the supplier was selected through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible consultancy would need to demonstrate specialist building consultancy and project-management capability for complex fire reinstatement in occupied or partly occupied residential buildings. Relevant experience would include coordinating design and technical input, approvals, insurance processes and phased delivery, as well as managing multiple specialist contractors and stakeholders such as building control, planning authorities, structural engineers, brokers, loss adjusters and insurers. The scale here involved a 32-flat block with complete loss in some homes, partial damage in others, and communal, roof and lift works, so suppliers would need capacity to oversee varied, interdependent workstreams and communicate across technical and insurance teams. The buyer used a below-threshold direct award without competition, making a strong, demonstrable fit with Aster’s specific reinstatement needs commercially relevant.

## Notice

Keel House, a block of 32 flats in Weymouth owned and managed by Aster Group Limited ("Aster"), suffered a significant fire in the early hours of 20 September 2026. The incident caused extensive damage to the building and has created a complex programme of reinstatement works requiring specialist project management and technical expertise. The fire resulted in the complete loss of 16 flats together with a substantial section of the roof, lift infrastructure and associated communal areas. A further eight flats sustained partial damage primarily from smoke, water and toxic fume contamination and require selective strip-out and refurbishment works. The remaining eight flats escaped direct damage and are expected to be reoccupied following restoration of the electrical supply, currently scheduled for 28th October 2026, after which a detailed drying-out programme will commence. Given the scale, complexity and urgency of the reinstatement programme, Aster requires specialist building consultancy support to coordinate the design, approvals, insurance and delivery process. The project will involve the management and coordination of multiple specialist contractors and stakeholders, including LABC, Planning Authorities, structural engineers, insurance brokers, loss adjusters and insurers.
