Fireproofing Tenders and Contracts

Fireproofing tenders are contracts for fire-resistant treatments, coatings, sealants and fire stopping work on public buildings. They also cover fire protection upgrades carried out as part of a wider refurbishment project.

Stotles brings together fireproofing tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Fireproofing and fire stopping are often called off from building safety and compliance frameworks, and appear as a lot inside planned maintenance and refurbishment contracts.

Fireproofing tenders are scored on installer competence, third-party certification of products and installation, programme, resident liaison and price. Housing landlords often appoint panels across their stock, so a panel place opens up repeat work.

Fire stopping and passive fire protection must be installed to the tested specification of the product, and buyers often expect third-party certification such as FIRAS or BM TRADA. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Fireproofing appears both as a standalone tender and as one line item inside a larger refurbishment or maintenance contract, including cavity barrier and fire stopping work on residential blocks.

Councils, housing associations and NHS trusts are regular buyers of fireproofing work. Universities and fire and rescue services also let this type of contract.

Read building safety programmes, fire risk assessment actions, residential block investment plans and refurbishment schedules, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
