The objective of this tender exercise is to source a specialist Fire Engineering Technical Services partner to support The National Archives' Estates team in the delivery of a range of capital projects and fire strategy requirements. Capital projects will range from building fabric through to large mechanical plant. Therefore, we need a Fire Engineering partner that is able to offer a range of detailed technical support.

Our aim is to work in partnership with a supplier who will provide additional resources as and when required to complement The National Archives' existing Estates Capital Projects team, in key areas such as, Fire Strategy review, Fire Safety Audits and Building Design.
