Published requirement description

The LB Tower Hamlets intends to directly award a contract to BB7 to conduct external wall fire risk surveys to the 17 highest-risk buildings in LB Tower Hamlets.

Expedite the assessment of the fire risks attached to the highest-risk blocks in the Borough

Enable the rapid commissioning of any reparation works necessary to ensure the safety of the block

Provide comfort for residents who are concerned about the safety of the block

Provide relief for leaseholders who are waiting on an EWS1 form to be able to sell their homes

Provide a good starting point and learning opportunity for the commissioning of surveys for the remainder of the residential buildings in the Borough through a fully-compliant tender process
