Fire Risk Assessments in properties owned/managed by Network Homes have highlighted areas that require remedial works in order that the buildings can be effectively sealed into their individual and manageable compartments.
To carry out the Passive Fire Protection (PFP) works required following the FRAs, remedial works will include
•The installation of Fire Doors.
•Penetrating Sealing Systems.
•Fire Collars and Pillows.
•Signage.
•Internal / Communal decorations.


All PFP works must be undertaken by a FIRAS-accredited contractor. Should the main contractor not have appropriate FIRAS accreditation, they will need to demonstrate how they will ensure that they will deliver FIRAS accredited work. Any submission not demonstrating this will be eliminated.

NH is looking to appoint 3 or 4 Service Providers to the Framework to deliver the works and the Framework will be for a period of 4 years starting in February 2017.

Contractors should be able to cover the Group’s entire stock- which includes Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, northwest, west, central, southwest and east London-as well as all types of passive fire protection works. . NH accept that suppliers may need to sub contract works in certain trades/ regions. This will be subject to agreement with NH before sub-contracting.

It is important to note that there is no guarantee of work.

The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
