## About this tender

Following the Grenfell Tower Block Fire and subsequent publication of the Hackett report all Local Authorities in the UK have been reviewing and continue to review their policies and procedures regarding fire safety of residents, particularly in high rise tower blocks.

The review completed by Sheffield City Council identified a number of deficiencies and areas for improvement, particularly for high risk assets including 24 tower blocks across the City. These matters need to be addressed to improve customer safety. The opportunity is also being taken to improve the internal and external environments of these buildings through a refresh of communal areas and external spaces.

The work to Sheffield tower blocks is being prioritised to focus on four single staircase tower blocks. The blocks included within this contract are being Hanover (S3 7UB) and the three blocks at Stannington (Parkside (S6 5NE), Cliffe (S6 5NN) and Woodland (S6 5NJ)). The Hanover block consists of 125 individual two-bedroom properties and each of the three Stannington blocks consist of 87 individual one-bedroom properties making a combined total of 386 properties.

The Works comprise of the following elements covering both works to individual properties and communal areas: -

- Installation of Automatic Fire Suppression System (AFSS)
- Completion of all appropriate Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) related works (including but not

limited to compartmentation works and replacement/upgrading of fire doors)

- Installation of new fire alarm system
- Installation of new emergency lighting system
- Installation of photovoltaic array system
- Completion of a refresh to communal areas (including replacement of floor, wall and ceiling

coverings, new lighting, new building numbering and way finding signage)

- Window replacement (Stannington blocks only)
- Roof covering replacement (Stannington blocks only)
- Provision of new external bin stores/waste management facilities
- Replacement of existing boiler house (Stannington blocks only)
- Completion of a refresh to external spaces including replacement of various landscaping

elements such as paving and fencing (Stannington blocks only)

Sheffield City Council are looking to appoint a main building contractor that will procure and manage all the various work elements required to deliver this project and also undertake the tenant liaison function that will be required as a result of working in occupied properties.

The Contractor will be required to carry out all liaison functions with tenants and residents to ensure the works are completed in accordance with the stipulated timescales, including but not limited to agreeing and obtaining access to properties, tenant liaison, information reporting and resolution of tenant queries/complaints/problems.

The Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) related works will require the appointed contractor’s supply chain partner to survey the works to determine the required scope prior to this being undertaken.
