Description

The London Fire & Emergency Planning Authority (the 'Authority' - the
organisation that runs the London Fire Brigade) is seeking a supplier (the
'Consultant') to assist in the design of a Real Fire Training Venue (RFTV)
as part of a wider scheme to introduce a new training centre in South
London.

The RFTV will be designed and built to simulate high rise buildings in
London and will enable firefighters to experience and extinguish real fires
(carbonaceous) in a realistic, but safe and controlled environment. The
Authority is seeking a carbonaceous RFTV involving real fire and smoke
created by burning standard sized timber materials in fixed and mobile cribs
with the option to investigate the burning of other agreed materials such as
straw. The Authority is not seeking Consultants / suppliers who can only
provide an LPG / gas based fire system (although LPG / gas may be required for the associated systems subject to the design of the Consultant).

This appointment shall comprise of Design Services through RIBA Stages 2 and 3.

The Authority seeks to novate the RFTV Specialist to a main contractor from RIBA Stage 4. Work carried out at any further stage will be subject to a separate contract and is out of the scope of this
requirement.
