In plain English

Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils want one company to carry out fire risk assessments across their council housing and office or other corporate buildings. The contractor must check each building for fire hazards, flag urgent safety problems straight away, and recommend proportionate fixes with clear paperwork the councils can use to show legal compliance.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out suitable and sufficient fire risk assessments across both councils' housing and corporate property, using assessors who are demonstrably competent. • Escalate urgent life-safety risks promptly, and provide clear, proportionate remedial action plans with prioritised findings. • Supply controlled, auditable reports and data that support the councils' statutory fire safety compliance and ongoing contract management.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The combination of a £2.86 million value, multi-authority scope across housing and corporate portfolios, and demanding assessor competence and accreditation requirements will likely exclude most small businesses unless they can team up with others or show substantial relevant track record.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
