## Summary

The London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority is currently seeking a consultant for the design of a Real Fire Training Venue (RFTV) as part of a new training centre in South London. The procurement process is in the tender stage, and the open procedure allows for comprehensive participation. The deadline for submission is 30 March 2017, with the contract likely commencing on 21 April 2017 and continuing until 1 April 2018. This project falls under the training simulators industry category, and is crucial for enhancing firefighter training through realistic fire scenarios.

This tender presents an excellent growth opportunity for businesses in the architectural and engineering design sectors, particularly those specialising in training facilities and simulation services.

The preference for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) indicates a supportive approach towards nurturing local businesses, enhancing their chances of participation in public contracts.

## Notice

The London Fire & Emergency Planning Authority (the 'Authority' - the organisation that runs the London Fire Brigade) is seeking a supplier (the 'Consultant') to assist in the design of a Real Fire Training Venue (RFTV) as part of a wider scheme to introduce a new training centre in South London. The RFTV will be designed and built to simulate high rise buildings in London and will enable firefighters to experience and extinguish real fires (carbonaceous) in a realistic, but safe and controlled environment. The Authority is seeking a carbonaceous RFTV involving real fire and smoke created by burning standard sized timber materials in fixed and mobile cribs with the option to investigate the burning of other agreed materials such as straw. The Authority is not seeking Consultants / suppliers who can only provide an LPG / gas based fire system (although LPG / gas may be required for the associated systems subject to the design of the Consultant). This appointment shall comprise of Design Services through RIBA Stages 2 and 3. The Authority seeks to novate the RFTV Specialist to a main contractor from RIBA Stage 4. Work carried out at any further stage will be subject to a separate contract and is out of the scope of this requirement.
