What is being bought

Published requirement description

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is seeking to appoint a competent and suitably qualified third party i.e. a fire engineer or architect, to undertake a third party fire strategy and compartmentation review of selected university buildings. While the majority of NTU's buildings are small, low-risk, and of simple construction, a small number of larger or higher-risk buildings (often older in nature) would benefit from independent assessment and validation. Historically, NTU’s Estates Quality and Compliance Team has undertaken internal assessments and developed marked-up drawings indicating fire compartmentation based on conservative estimates. However, NTU is now seeking professional external validation and, where appropriate, optimisation of these strategies.. The initial Phase of the review will for the following 4 buildings: - Confetti Metronome Chaucer Building Maudslay Building Waverley Building Further buildings MAY be added to the Scope based on the outcome of the first phase. (see tender documentation for full details).
