two.2.4) Description of the procurement
This lot is intended to deliver the full range of the NHG Development team’s fire consultant requirements – an end-to-end solution for our new build development projects. This covers both Fire Engineer services (expert fire engineers forming an integral part of the multi-disciplinary consultant team at design stage for RIBA Stages 0-4), and Fire Guardian services (a role we have established in recent years for monitoring the quality, compliance and safety of the design and construction executed by developers/contractors, primarily at RIBA Stages 4-6). First and foremost we require consultants who can provide the Fire Engineer service, and therefore we are seeking expert fire engineers with appropriate qualifications. Preferably these consultants will also be able to provide the Fire Guardian service, or be willing to develop this service in future. For NHG-led projects, preferably the fire consultant appointed as Fire Engineer at design stage will be retained as our Fire Guardian during technical design and construction once a design & build contract has been let. However we recognise that not all fire consultants are able to provide the Fire Guardian service, and therefore we will welcome bids from Tenderers offering only the Fire Engineer service. This lot description represents NHG’s current intentions for the use of Lot 2a, however NHG reserves the right to select from the most suitable lot for each fire consultant appointment on a case-by-case basis. We also may utilise this lot for work on existing buildings where appropriate, in addition to new-build developments. See the procurement documents for more information about Lot 2a, including the full set of services which may be procured through this lot.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
This lot is intended to deliver the Fire Guardian service portion of the NHG Development team’s fire consultant requirements. The Fire Guardian is a role we have established in recent years for monitoring the quality, compliance and safety of the design and construction executed by developers/contractors, primarily at RIBA Stages 4-6. We are seeking built environment professionals who have appropriate qualifications and sufficient fire safety knowledge to review designs and inspect fire safety aspects of buildings during construction. Unlike Lot 2a, the consultants’ personnel do not necessarily have to be qualified fire engineers. Our intention is to use Lot 2b for Fire Guardian services in less complex circumstances, such as simple low-rise buildings or S106 acquisitions where NHG is not the developer. This lot description represents NHG’s current intentions for the use of Lot 2b, however NHG reserves the right to select from the most suitable lot for each fire consultant appointment on a case-by-case basis. We also may utilise this lot for work on existing buildings where appropriate, in addition to new-build developments. See the procurement documents for more information about Lot 2b, including the full set of services which may be procured through this lot.
