This opportunity is for building safety professionals to audit samples of External Wall Assessment (EWS1) forms. This specialist resource is not available within government. DLUHC is therefore seeking to establish a Framework of building safety professionals to execute these audits. The framework will consist of 2 Lots - Lot 1 (EWS1 Audits not requiring a Fire Engineer) and Lot 2 (EWS1 Audits requiring a Fire Engineer). Potential Suppliers can bid for Lot 1, Lot 2 or Both Lots. The duration of the Framework Agreement will be for an initial term of 2 years, with 2 optional extension periods of 1 year each (annual break clauses will apply), available to DLUHC at its sole discretion. ## CPV classification Architectural, engineering and surveying services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/9c2d72a0-dbc3-4f73-82c9-7de7a6a4f728) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
