## Summary

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme Limited (FSCS) has recently completed a tender process for a project titled "Oversight Support for EWIC" in the legal advisory services industry. Located in London, England, this process was initiated to address urgent remedial works related to high-value claims originating from fire safety issues in residential developments. The procurement was executed as a direct method through a single tender action, with a total contract value of £142,000. The contract period spans from 19 April 2021 to 18 October 2021, with the tender period concluding on 18 April 2021.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for specialist insurance law firms and loss adjusters with expertise in fire safety and high-rise residential issues to engage with FSCS. Businesses that can provide legal advisory services and possess the capacity to manage complex, high-value claims will be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the nature of this procurement process.

## Notice

The failure of East West has presented FSCS with a portfolio of claims originating from flammable cladding being installed on high-rise, multi-occupancy residential developments. Other fire safety issues are also commonly being found on these buildings. Urgent remedial work is required to resolve these claims and the claims themselves are very high value (i.e. multi-million GBP). FSCS has no expert knowledge of handling this type of claim and equally there is very limited expert resource available in the wider market. The decision was therefore taken to engage a specialist insurance law firm together with a firm of loss adjusters with experience in this area to provide the requisite legal and loss-adjuster expertise support for FSCS, this will also upskill FSCS resource.
