Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has concluded the procurement process for Fire Strategy Consultancy Services as part of its endeavour to ensure safety and compliance in its facilities. This project, governed by legal basis 2023/54, involves a comprehensive assessment and optimisation of fire strategies in various university buildings, particularly focusing on larger or higher-risk ones. An open procurement method was employed, which was suitable for below-threshold open competitions. The process progressed to the award stage, with Tetra Tech Limited being appointed to carry out these consultancy services. This contract is valued at £60,000 net, extending from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2026. The consultancy focuses on fire and explosion protection and control within the UK region UKF14, and entails a critical review of barnacle drawings and compartmentation strategies.

This opportunity represents potential for business growth for firms specialising in building consultancy and fire protection services. As it's an open competition, it invites both small and large enterprises with expertise in hazard protection and control consultancy. Particularly, companies that have a strong background in providing innovative fire safety solutions are well-suited to benefit from such tenders. The collaboration with a prestigious institution like Nottingham Trent University could aid in establishing long-term relationships and fortifying a business's reputation in the niche of safety and compliance within educational and public infrastructure projects.

Notice Title

Fire Strategy Consultancy Services

Notice Description

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is seeking to appoint a competent and suitably qualified third party i.e. a fire engineer or architect, to undertake a third party fire strategy and compartmentation review of selected university buildings. While the majority of NTU's buildings are small, low-risk, and of simple construction, a small number of larger or higher-risk buildings (often older in nature) would benefit from independent assessment and validation. Historically, NTU's Estates Quality and Compliance Team has undertaken internal assessments and developed marked-up drawings indicating fire compartmentation based on conservative estimates. However, NTU is now seeking professional external validation and, where appropriate, optimisation of these strategies.. The initial Phase of the review will for the following 4 buildings: - Confetti Metronome Chaucer Building Maudslay Building Waverley Building Further buildings MAY be added to the Scope based on the outcome of the first phase. (see tender documentation for full details).
