In case of a fire, the system is unable to supply water at the required pressure and flow rate to extinguish fires. The requirement of the procurement is to appoint a contractor to undertake works to ensure that fire hydrant systems at the 2 locations are fully operable, in good working condition and in full compliance with relevant safety legislations associated with the hydrant system - BS and TFL standards ## CPV classification Firefighting, rescue and safety equipment Firefighting equipment installation work Survey services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-051a98-2026-09-10T13:06:44+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-051a98-2026-09-10T13:06:44+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
