This framework covers the geographical area of England and has been procured on behalf of: Welsh Procurement Alliance (WPA) This new framework replaces our previous Fire Safety framework and extends the scope to include waking watch services, active fire protection, fire suppression and cladding remediation. The framework consists of 8 (eight) workstreams and some workstreams have multiple lots. As follows: Lot 1a - Fire Safety Consultancy - Lot 2a - Fire Risk Assessments and Fire Safety Inspections - Lot 3a - Waking Watch Services - Lot 4a - Installation, Maintenance & Remediation of Passive Fire Protection - Lot 5a - Installation of Active Fire Protection - Lot 5b - Active Fire Protection Testing, Servicing and Maintenance - Lot 6a - Installation of Fire Suppression Systems - Lot 6b - Fire Suppression System Testing, Servicing and Maintenance - Lot 7a - Cladding Remediation - Lot 8a - Multi-Disciplinary - Installation of Passive, Active and Fire Suppression Measures - Lot 8b - Multi-Disciplinary - Testing, Servicing and Maintenance of Passive, Active and Fire Suppression Measures Lot 1: Fire Consultancy This consultancy lot delivers knowledge and advice on all aspects of fire safety including, fire safety legislation, active, passive and suppression systems to ensure safety and guide LHC clients with the formulation and reviewing fire risk assessments. The scope of this consultancy lot includes (but is not limited to): Fire Consultancy Advice on all fire safety aspects of Client portfolios Develop fire strategies, policies, procedures, and emergency plans Undertake PAS9980 assessments Undertake EWS1 reports Provide cost-benefit analysis of options for fire safety remedial solutions Lot 2: Fire Risk Assessments The purpose of this Fire Risk Assessment lot is to advise LHC clients on identifying fire hazards, identifying individuals at risk, providing a method to evaluate, remove or deduce the risks of fire, recording the findings and providing appropriate actions. The scope of this lot will cover: Fire Risk assessments Block assessments Lot 3: Waking Watch The waking watch service consists of suitably trained individuals who will continually patrol the interior and exterior areas of a building in order to ensure early detection of a fire and where necessary raise the alarm and ensure safe evacuation of the building. The core responsibilities of the individuals will be to: - Detect a fire in or within the boundaries of the building's environs. - Summon the Fire and Rescue Service and take appropriate action as required by the management strategy, including meeting the FRS on arrival. - Ensure all residents are alerted to begin simultaneous evacuation. Lot 4: Installation of Passive Fire Protection The Passive Fire Protection workstream is constructed to cover the specific items of fire protection that are typically installed in a building to protect the structural integrity of the building, limit the spread of fire and limit/control smoke spread. The scope of this lot includes the design, supply and installation of a range of passive fire protection measures including (but not limited to): Fire compartmentation works (including surveys and remedial works) Fire door surveys and installations Fire shutters and curtains Fire performance labelling Fire safety signage and Information Lot 5: Installation of Active Fire Protection This workstream covers the design, installation and commissioning of a range of active fire protection measures as necessary to achieve fire safety compliance and current and future applicable fire safety legislation, (currently the Fire Safety Order 2005) and their associated British Standards. - Fire Alarm Systems - Emergency lighting design, supply, install and commission - AOV (Automatic Opening Vents) - Domestic smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms - Fire Extinguishers and other manual fire suppression equipment Lot 6: Active Fire Protection Testing, Servicing and Maintenance This lot covers the servicing, repair and maintenance of a range of active fire protection measures as necessary to ensure the Client's active fire safety systems are maintained in effective working order and free of fault and to ensure compliance with applicable fire safety legislation and standards. - Fire Alarm Systems servicing & maintenance - Emergency lighting design, - AOV (Automatic Opening Vents) - Domestic Smoke Alarm and Carbon Monoxide alarms - Fire Extinguishers and other manual fire suppression equipment Lot 7: Installation of Fire Suppression Systems This workstream covers the design, installation and commissioning of a range of fire suppression measures typically installed in a building to limit the spread of fire and to limit / control smoke spread, to achieve fire safety compliance and current and future applicable fire safety legislation, (currently the Fire Safety Order 2005) and their associated British Standards. Typical works delivered through this project will include the design, installation and commissioning of replacement or new: - Dry & Wet Risers - Sprinkler systems - Water Mist Systems Lot 8: Fire Suppression System Testing, Servicing and Maintenance This workstream covers the testing, servicing and maintenance of a range of fire suppression measures typically installed in a building to limit the spread of fire and to limit / control smoke spread, to achieve fire safety compliance and current and future applicable fire safety legislation, (currently the Fire Safety Order 2005) and their associated British Standards. Typical works delivered through this project will include the design, testing, and maintenance of: - Dry & Wet Risers - Sprinkler systems - Water Mist Systems Lot 9: Cladding Remediation The purpose of this cladding remediation lot is to provide LHC clients with a route to confirm the requirement to conduct remedial works to the external wall system (EWS) of a residential building, and subsequently carry out replacement or remediation of existing external cladding systems. Lot 10: Multi-Disciplinary - Installation of Passive, Active and Fire Suppression Measures The purpose of this multi-disciplinary lot is to provide LHC clients with a route to approved contractors who can cover multiple services that cover the installation of passive, active or suppression fire measures either via direct labour or via sub-contractor where they will act as principal contractors.
