## Summary

The Medway Council is soliciting tenders for the "Medway Schools Fire Risk Alteration Works" project, aimed at enhancing fire safety measures across selected schools in the South East of England. This construction work, classified under the CPV code 45000000, has a total contract value of £300,000, with a minimum value of £200,000. The tender period concludes on 30 January 2018, while the contract is scheduled to commence on 5 March 2018 and run until 21 December 2018. The procurement method selected for this process is an open procedure, which allows for broader participation from interested parties.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those that focus on fire safety installations and maintenance. Suitable competitors may include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with experience in carrying out similar projects. The phased implementation of works, including the replacement of fire doors and installation of emergency lighting, provides potential for contractors to establish ongoing relationships with the schools involved, thus fostering long-term business growth.

## Notice

The works include various fire precautions to the named schools within the tender. These works were picked up in the school's annual Fire Risk Assessment carried out by Fire and Security Consultancy. Works are to happen during term and half term dates at the schools to ensure the works are carried out by the end of 2018. These works will need to be a rolling programme so each school follows on from the last. Works include the replacement of fire doors, replacement of intumescent strips and seals, fire break works, emergency lighting and new emergency exit doors. All works are noted in the tender and are detailed on an annotated floor plan.
