Notice Title
2DP MMC Construction PIN
Notice Description
The Department for Education (DfE) is looking to tender for a subject matter expert to advise on the structural and fire safety performance of 2D panelised modern methods of construction. In particular, DfE is seeking to understand whether standards, guidance and best practice for traditionally constructed building need to be developed for 2D panelised construction methods. The supplier will be required to research and collate and review information (including data which DfE may share) relating to recent use of 2D panels systems in low to medium-rise buildings in the UK. They will be required to undertake visits to both construction sites and completed buildings that use this construction method. They will also be required to engage with major contractors who supply and construct buildings of this type. Full details are to be made available to all interested parties after the Market Engagement event. This PIN is for information only and is not a call for competition. This PIN is intended to inform the market of a potential procurement exercise to appoint suppliers to work with the Department on providing the outlined service. The Department reserves the right not to enter a formal procurement process and not proceed with contract award. Accordingly, the Department will not be liable for any bid cost, expenditure, work, or effort incurred by any organisation in acting on the basis of this Prior Information Notice.
