Tender description

<p>Please be aware that Bristol City Council Intend to publish a waking watch DPS (Dynamic Purchasing System) the week beginning the 12th December 2022.&nbsp; It is our intention that we will close this first round on the 9th January 2023. We apologise for this short turn around however there is an urgency to carry out our first call off from this DPS by the end of January 2023. Please be aware that following the closure of the first round on 9th January 2023, there will immediately be further opportunity to join the DPS.&nbsp;</p> <p>A waking watch is a fire safety system where suitably trained staff continually patrol the floors and the exterior perimeter of a building to maintain the safety of its occupants from fire. The aim of a waking watch is to ensure there is sufficient warning in the event of a fire to support the evacuation strategy.</p> <p>A waking watch is required when fire safety issues change the evacuation policy of a building from stay put to simultaneous evacuation. This change requires fire marshals/wardens to patrol the building 24 hours a day looking for signs of fire.</p> Keywords: Fire Safety, Waking Watch, Security Services
