NHSDG Estates & Property Fire Damper Inspection

A detailed specification will be included in the ITT. However, some of the main features are as follows:

The Contractor must be a member of a recognised national body or association in connection to the service such as Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP), Building Engineering Services Association (BESA).

It is a mandatory requirement of NHSDG that all contractors must be registered as CHAS Advanced members proof of registration will be required prior to acceptance of any contractor. If not CHAS Advanced registered at the time of submission of the SPD, then a stated undertaking that if successful at the ITT stage this will be achieved within six months of contract award is acceptable at this stage.

NHSDG have strict controls in place in respect of Infection Control. These are called HAI-SCRIBE Healthcare Associated Infection System for Controlling Risk in the Built Environment. Infection Control Measures are strictly enforced on all projects carried out in NHSDG premises.

NHSDG expects that the works will be undertaken, in the main, by a stable workforce, although recognise that some sub-contracting is likely to be required for meeting marginal changes in demand and the employment of specialists.
