Fusion21 has announced the renewal of its national Building Safety and Compliance Framework, worth up to £800 million over four years, and is now inviting bids from interested suppliers providing regional, or national coverage.
The procurement provider says it is ‘seeking competent and specialist suppliers to help landlords manage and maintain safe buildings and demonstrate compliance’. It said: “Suitable for all building types across the public sector, this fourth-generation framework continues to support Fusion21’s ‘big six’ offer, and includes a new lot dedicated to sprinkler and mist systems.”
The framework is split into 12 lots:
Lot 1: Asbestos Surveying and Consultancy.
Lot 2: Asbestos Abatement and Removal.
Lot 3: Legionella and Water Hygiene Consultancy.
Lot 4: Legionella Monitoring and Control.
Lot 5: Fire Safety Surveying and Consultancy (Multi-Disciplinary).
Lot 6: Fire Risk Assessments.
Lot 7: Fire Safety Inspections.
Lot 8: Passive Fire Protection.
Lot 9: Fire Suppression (Sprinkler and Mist) Systems.
Lot 10: Active Fire Safety
Lot 11: Warden Call and Tele-health.
Lot 12: Electronic Security.
Peter Francis, Group Executive director (Operations) at Fusion21 said: “Set to launch in April 2025, this framework renewal will enable members to continue addressing the unique safety challenges of buildings, ensuring that the ‘golden thread’ of information is maintained, while also helping to address the challenges created by new legislation – such as the Building Safety Act (BSA 2022).
“The framework is being set up under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and Fusion21 members accessing this offer will benefit from flexible call-off options, support from technical experts, and measurable cost efficiencies. As with all Fusion21’s frameworks, the Building Safety and Compliance Framework will help members deliver social value they can see in communities, aligned with their organisational priorities.”
Tender applications are welcome from interested suppliers (existing and new) that meet the criteria set out in the tender documentation. To learn more and apply for the framework, visit: https://hubs.li/Q02XgVxN0 and click on ‘Current opportunities’.
