Preliminary Market Engagement - Request for Information - Active Fire Safety Services
Home Group · Local or regional public body
In brief
Home Group has announced plans to buy fire safety and building maintenance work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.
It is a framework worth up to £15,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.
The contract runs for 4 years, up to 5 years with extensions, starting 1 June 2027.
The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.
Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.
Can I win this?
Competition
Usually high: a median of 9 bids per contract for fire safety contracts in this region (from 17 awards in the last 12 months).
Framework
Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £15,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
