The John Paul Getty Jr Conservation Centre (known as Conservation Centre) in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire houses major elements of the BFI's irreplaceable National Collection of Film and Television (Stills Posters & Special Collections) meaning early detection and a quick reaction of any fire situation is critical to ensure the safety of this collection. This ITT seeks to find a contractor to design, install and commission a complete fully addressable fire & aspirating smoke detection system(s) to replace the current single wire conventional fire alarm system which dates to the build of the site between late 1980s and early 1990s.
