## Summary

The North Lanarkshire Council has completed a tender for the procurement of low-rise fire doors and fire stopping works in the UK. This opportunity, under the works category, was awarded to Mears Limited. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The Council prioritized this procurement due to extreme urgency to ensure continuity in fire safety measures across its various building programmes.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specializing in fire-prevention installation works. Businesses offering services related to renewing front doors, fire stopping, fire escape doors, and alarm installations are well-suited to compete. The awarded contract, valued at £7,500,000 GBP, was signed on 24th February 2023, offering a substantial opportunity for growth and partnership with the North Lanarkshire Council in enhancing safety standards within its housing estate.

## Notice

Following the installation of fire doors and fire stopping to tower blocks across North Lanarkshire, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service have supported the Councils proposal to install fire doors and fire stopping through compartment walls to low rise blocks to enable maximum levels of health and safety within it housing estate.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

It is essential that the Council, as owners of these properties assure itself that these buildings are safe and remain compliant with the highest standards of safety. - Work consists of renewing front doors to all flats, common area door screens, fire stopping and fire escape doors to current standard where required. - The specification and costs of this exercise have been taken to a stage where the Council can commence the remedial works agreed with our colleagues in Building Standards and the SFRS. However, there remains a possibility of this changing due to ongoing consultation into fire safety within the Scottish and Westminster governments - Changes to the Housing (Scotland) Act in February 2019 now require all properties have the following: - at least one smoke alarm installed in the room most frequently used for general daytime living purposes, - at least one smoke alarm in every circulation space on each storey, such as hallways and landings, - at least one heat alarm installed in every kitchen, - all alarms should be ceiling mounted and interlinked. - a maximum age of ten years for alarms; and, - carbon monoxide detectors.

### Procurement Information

Reg 33(1)c satisfies the Council's interests to secure continuity between the high-rise fire doors and fire stopping programme and the low rise programme whilst also ensuring all works are completed quickly and competently.
