To ensure that there is adequate fire compartmentation of all buildings a Passive Fire and Compartmentation Surveys (PFCS) are requested.

Derbyshire Student Residential Ltd (DSRL) are a subsidiary of the University of Derby and are responsible for the ownership, running and management of its residential properties.

The University invites suppliers to submit proposals to complete Fire Risk Assessments and Passive Fire and Compartmentation Surveys on the entire property estate.

The University wishes to appoint a supplier who shares its commitment to sustainability, will help minimise the environmental impact of its operation and will actively contribute to the achievement of its business objectives, in line with the University’s Environmental Policy. It should be noted that targets are subject to review and subsequent changes, which aim to drive continuous improvement.

The University recognises that markets and businesses are changing at an ever-increasing pace. The requirements detailed in this document are, therefore, the minimum acceptable to the University and shall be capable of development where appropriate and relevant.

During the life of the Contract, the University shall be entitled (but not obligated) to order additional items or services, which are in line with the on-going requirements detailed in this document. These will be subject to the provisions relating to pricing in the Contract. Wherever possible such additional items shall be based on the prices quoted in the Pricing Schedule.

There are 70 buildings listed in Form T6 Pricing Schedule, 60 of which require FRA and 52 of these that also require PFCS to be undertaken. The University requires at least one building to be inspected every 10 days. Accompanying reports and drawings, where applicable, must be sent to a named member of staff at UoD a maximum of 10 working days after the completion of each survey.

The duration of this contract is for 3 years with the option to extend by a further 1 year. The surveys are to commence within four weeks of the award of the contract and once the initial schedule has been delivered, there may be a need to repeat FRA tests during the contract period in line with legislation and University requirements.

The programming of the FRA and PFCS for all properties identified in Form T6 Pricing Schedule will be agreed between the UoD and the Highest Scoring Tenderer during a pre-contract meeting and this schedule will form part of the Contract.

There may be a requirement to complete additional, ad hoc surveys; alternatively, the number of surveys required may reduce over the duration of the Contract. The UoD can offer no commitment as to the volume of work required over the life of the Contract. Costs for any additional surveys will be agreed between both parties, with Form T6 Pricing Schedule used as a pricing benchmark.

This contract will not be divided into lots, as the nature of the requirement is such that it cannot be fragmented for reasons of efficiency and resource implications.
