## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) has completed the procurement for Framework Agreements to deliver Fire Safety Works as part of their housing management program. The framework, under Project Union, consists of three lots, namely Fire Stopping, Compartmentation & Fire Doors, Active Fire Protection Systems, and Means of Escape, Fire Detection and Smoke Ventilation Systems. Contractors were awarded the framework through open procedure, with the agreements set for four years and an optional two-year extension. Contracts were signed on the 1st of November, 2024, with a total value of GBP 75,000,000 for all three lots. The works largely target properties within the RBKC borough.

This framework creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fire safety installations, repairs, and maintenance. Companies equipped to deliver comprehensive fire safety solutions including fire doors, alarms, compartmentation works, and ventilation systems will find numerous projects available under this framework. Particularly, SMEs and large companies in the construction, installation, and maintenance sectors can benefit from the long-term engagement involved in this significant capital investment program by RBKC. The contracts emphasise quality, social value, and sustainable supply chain strategies, making them attractive for businesses looking to cement their market presence through public sector projects.
