London Borough of Newham has awarded Gerda Security Products Limited a £20.5m contract to supply and install fire doors across its tenanted properties.

The contract is a direct award made under the Procurement for Housing Fire Safety Works Framework. This procurement device allows councils and housing bodies to call off suppliers already appointed to a framework agreement, rather than running a fresh competitive tender each time.

The award was published on 8 July 2026. The deadline for the original procurement stage passed on 27 April 2026.

Fire door installation work is a statutory compliance matter for social housing providers; the contract reflects Newham's duty to maintain fire safety standards across its tenanted stock.
