Specialist fire compliance lots, with conflicting closing times
Northamptonshire Partnership Homes
Review Lot 5 against your full capability: it includes Type 1–4 assessments, FRA and fire-strategy reviews, and high-level compartmentation surveys. Offering Type 1 assessments alone does not establish a fit. Full-pack requirements and the closing-time conflict remain unresolved.
Recorded in the notice
- Lot 2: door inspections, estimated £726,000 excluding VAT, with two suppliers envisaged.
- Lot 5: Type 1–4 fire risk assessments, FRA and fire-strategy reviews, and high-level compartmentation surveys. Estimated £540,000 excluding VAT; one supplier envisaged.
- Both lots are marked SME suitable. Award weighting is 60% quality / 40% price.
- The buyer portal gives noon on 21 September; official OCDS gives 23:59:59 that day. Use noon for conservative planning until clarified.
- The enquiry deadline was 26 August 2026 and has passed.
Still needs checking
- Which closing time the buyer will enforce; do not rely on midnight.
- Insurance, accreditation and financial thresholds sit in procurement documents.
- Whether your capacity, services and geography meet the lot requirements.
- Full documents require registration on the buyer portal; access not attempted.
Source review and limitations
Official process and public buyer portal rechecked 6 Sep 2026 at approximately 20:00 UTC. Only the original release was returned; the portal showed OPEN and noon, while the official data gave 23:59:59. Full procurement documents and private portal messages not accessed. A future date in one release does not establish that a tender is currently open.
