Provision of Fire Door Inspections (Lot 1) and Fire Door Remedial Work (Lot 2)

Tender description

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Client) is conducting this PME exercise regarding the provision of a contract for both planned inspections and any reactive services (E.g. repairs, including any replacement required identified via the preceding inspection), of the existing fire door assets. The contract is required to ensure the relevant effective passive fire protection measures are in place across the Client’s buildings to assist in preventing the spread of smoke and flames in the event of a building fire. The fire door survey shall identify defects or maintenance needs of the Client’s fire door assets. To mitigate any potential conflict of interest risk, the Client is considering splitting the contract into Lots: - Lot 1: Fire Door Inspections - Lot 2: Fire Door Remedial Work Therefore, the Contractor appointed to Lot 1 would not be required to perform any repairs noted in the survey; its purpose is solely to highlight assets or parts thereof requiring attention. The Client would appoint a separate Contractor under Lot 2 to complete any remedial works. The purpose of this exercise is to gauge interest from the market, understand its capability to deliver the service and seek your views to inform any eventual procurement exercise undertaken by the Client. The objective is to identify and mitigate any potential issues to help ensure a “right first time” approach to any eventual procurement exercise.
