DSF-Overhaul/Refresh of Scottish Government Fire Safety Guides
Scottish Government · All their open notices
What this is
The Scottish Government requires an external expert service provider to overhaul and refresh its suite of fire safety guidance documents — making them up to date, sector-specific by building type, and workable for both non-expert dutyholders and professional assessors. The work follows the Cameron House FAI findings, the Grenfell phase two response and Building Standards changes. Estimated GBP 90,000 excluding VAT, 12 months with an optional 6-month extension, open procedure via PCS-Tender (project code 31697).
