Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Levelling Up Housing and Communities is initiating a procurement process for the "Technical Assurance Framework EWS1 Audits," aimed at ensuring the safety of residents in buildings. This tender, which falls under the architectural, engineering, and surveying services category, is currently in the Tender stage with an end date for submissions set for 20th April 2022. The contract is valued at £2,000,000, and the contract agreement will commence on 18th July 2022, lasting for two years with potential one-year extensions. The delivery addresses include locations throughout the United Kingdom and beyond.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth for businesses specialising in building safety audits, particularly those equipped to handle External Wall Assessment (EWS1) forms. Companies can bid for either of the two designated Lots—one requiring a Fire Engineer and one not. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may especially benefit from this procurement as they can provide the necessary expertise while meeting the qualifications outlined in the procurement documents.

Notice Title

Technical Assurance Framework EWS1 Audits

Notice Description

DLUHC is supporting building owners in taking immediate steps to ensure their residents' safety and in making decisions on any remedial work that is necessary. This opportunity is for building safety professionals to audit samples of External Wall Assessment (EWS1) forms. This specialist resource is not available within government. DLUHC is therefore seeking to establish a Framework of building safety professionals to execute these audits. The framework will consist of 2 Lots - Lot 1 (EWS1 Audits not requiring a Fire Engineer) and Lot 2 (EWS1 Audits requiring a Fire Engineer). Potential Suppliers can bid for Lot 1, Lot 2 or Both Lots. The duration of the Framework Agreement will be for an initial term of 2 years, with 2 optional extension periods of 1 year each (annual break clauses will apply), available to DLUHC at its sole discretion.
