UK Research and Innovation (‘UKRI’) is planning to launch a procurement for a 2 yr. term Service framework contract to provide Fire Safety Consultancy Works (inc.

The contract will be for any such Fire Consultancy works with an estimated value of 1,000,000.00 -1,500,000.00 GBP ex-VAT over the 2-year term. STFC is applying a renewed and refreshed Fire Safety Management focus to its unique estate and infrastructure of circa 80 facilities including Offices, Laboratories, accommodation, and sub-stations — recognising its strategic importance as an enabler of world class science and research. The current estate comprises a portfolio of old and new buildings, a diverse range of space/accommodation types, and a gradually changing position in terms of building condition and functional suitability. This agreement will cover Fire Consultancy works. It is STFC's intention to appoint one consultant for an initial period of 1 year, with a possible 1-year extension (total 2 years). The forecast spend is estimated at between 1,000,000 GBP and 1,500,000 GBP (ex-VAT). The maximum spend will be 750,000 GBP per annum.
