Fire Alarm Replacement Project, Phase 2, at the University of Essex, Colchester Campus

The University of Essex wishes to engage a suitably experienced and qualified contractor to design, supply and install replacement fire alarm systems in several of our existing buildings at our Campus in Colchester Essex.

Part of the works must be delivered by a Gent 24 Systems Integrator accredited Contractor, acting as either the main or sub-contractor. Please see the tender pack for full details of all accreditations and qualifications required.

The open tender process will consist of 2 question sections, part A and part B. Part A will verify prerequisite issues using PAS91, such as professional accreditations, business and professional standing and financial stability etc and Part B will cover the project specific requirements. All tenderers will be required to submit responses to both Parts A, B and a commercial response.

For this project, we have chosen to use Constructionline, a procurement and supply chain management scheme that collects, assesses and monitors standard company information using the PAS91 set of Prequalification Questions.
