NHG Fire Servicing Framework 2027-2031

Fire Servicing Framework – Market Engagement/Meet the Buyer Event

NHG is seeking feedback on its proposal to appoint expert contractors to a closed framework agreement on fire servicing matters. This feedback will be used to develop our lot strategy, choice of procedure under the new Procurement Act 2023, as well as conditions of participation and award criteria.

This is via a Microsoft Forms survey and a meet the buyer event where NHG will present its proposed strategy to attendees, with Q&A.

The framework will support NHGs own FRA actions and includes maintenance, servicing and potentially installation of, but not limited to sprinklers, fire alarms, AOVS, fire extinguishers, dry risers, wet risers, fire blankets, evacuation alarms. The framework will be divided into two lots;

-The first comprising solely sprinkler related works and services, and

-A second comprising all other fire servicing related works and services.

It is expected that NHG will immediately enter into call-off contracts.

More detail about how to get involved can be found in the engagement section of this notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, any department or team within NHG may call off from any lot. The framework may also be used by other contracting authorities.

FRAMEWORK AND CALL-OFF VALUE:

Interested parties should note that the estimated value of the Framework Agreement and Call-Off Contracts given in this Notice is based on NHG's current anticipated requirements. NHG cannot give any guarantees that instructions totalling this value will in fact be called off from this framework. Equally, the total value may increase, either if NHG’s own requirements increase unexpectedly or if the framework is used by other contracting authorities as noted above.

NHG expects the value of call-off contracts let by NHG under this framework to be circa £1m p/a per general fire servicing contract, and £150,000 p/a for sprinkler maintenance.
