## Summary

The Homes England (formerly known as the Homes and Communities Agency) is seeking services for a multidisciplinary panel aimed at inspecting tall buildings (over 18 metres or 6 floors) for the presence of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding. This procurement process is classified under real estate services, and it has reached the Award stage as of 5th October 2017. The contract period is set to begin on 9th October 2017 and will run until 1st December 2017, with a contract value of £20,250. The tender was officially published on 20th April 2018, although the tender period had closed on 30th September 2017.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the building inspection and consultancy industry to engage with a significant public sector buyer. Companies focusing on safety assessments and compliance for high-rise structures, particularly those with expertise in identifying and evaluating combustible materials, would be well-suited to compete for this kind of work. As building safety continues to be a critical concern, especially with recent legislative changes, firms that can demonstrate relevant experience and a strong understanding of compliance issues will find themselves in a favourable position.

## Notice

To identify whether any panels used in tall new build or refurbishment of the building are or appear to be made of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) or any other material which is known to be similarly combustible. To identify whether there are any other features of the exterior of the building that ought to alert a freehold owner who is not in possession of the property to make further enquiries of the party responsible for its maintenance, repair and management including compliance with statutory obligations.
