## Summary

LHC Procurement Group Limited, acting on behalf of contracting authorities in England, Wales, and Scotland, has awarded the "Fire Safety Framework" project, classified under CPV code 75251110 for fire-prevention services. The project spans various regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement, initiated as a tender and now in the "active" award stage, was signed on 2nd April 2024. This comprehensive framework includes multi-disciplinary services such as the installation and maintenance of passive, active, and fire suppression measures, making it a major opportunity for relevant contractors, especially those already engaged in public sector works.

This framework presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs and large enterprises engaged in fire safety and prevention services.

Companies like ABCA Systems Limited, Amber Construction Services Ltd, Axis Europe plc, and Marlowe Fire & Security Limited have been awarded contracts, demonstrating the framework's suitability for both small and large scale providers.
