LHC Procurement Group’s Fire Safety (FS2) Framework is now open for prospective suppliers across the country to apply until mid-August.

The deal is worth £105m in England, £20m in Scotland and £15m in Wales and will feature six spaces per lot, per regional area.

FS2 will provide new or replacement passive and active fire protection measures for existing and new domestic and non-domestic buildings, as well as fire suppression, consultancy, waking watch services and cladding remediation.

It covers all current legislation including the Building Safety Act 2022, Fire Safety Act 2021, and Fire Safety (England) regulations 2022.

Dean Fazackerley, Head of Technical Procurement at LHC, said: “Given the recent implementation of the Building Safety Act 2022 following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, fire safety has become a paramount concern for local authorities and social housing providers, which are prioritising preparedness of buildings in case of a fire.

“FS2, our new fire safety framework, represents a significant advancement from FS1 by expanding the range of fire safety measures available. We have developed the framework with expert consultancy input to ensure comprehensive coverage of current legislation, providing our clients with peace of mind through compliance with regulations and industry best practices.

“We also recognise the valuable knowledge and capabilities of SMEs and by tapping into their expertise. Through FS2, we aim to provide our clients with a wide array of national and local organisations capable of undertaking specialised projects, offering distinct value and tailored solutions to meet their needs.”
