In plain English
Colchester Borough Council wants a contractor to install and repair compartmentation, which means the walls, floors and doors that stop fire and smoke spreading between rooms and flats in its council housing. The work responds to faults found during fire risk assessments, housing health and safety inspections, and annual reviews of those assessments.
What the buyer wants
• Install compartmentation works across the council's housing stock • Carry out remediation to fix the compartmentation defects identified in fire risk assessments, HHSRS inspections and annual fire risk assessment reviews
Requirements
What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice does not list any specific qualifications, experience or insurance requirements, but the £100,000 to £500,000 value and the work across the whole housing stock suggest it is likely to favour firms able to deliver repeated works at scale.
Always check the tender documents.
