SPPD: Cladding Pilot Cleanse Contract

Tender description

This contract is for a fire risk consultant to undertake a desktop review of the Cladding Remediation Programme (CRP) pilot list, provide technical and professional views to support programme decision-making, and develop individual reports on buildings which may be deemed low-risk or have tolerable risk (without the need for mitigations and remediation). Lot 1: The Scottish Government are committed to providing support and remediation where risks, due to unsafe cladding systems on external walls, have been identified and assessed by a competent professional. The SBA has been introduced as part of the CRP to either carry out or support fully funded safety assessments to determine domestic multi-occupancy buildings with a fire safety risk. The assessments help identify the repairs needed to make buildings safe. To test the concept and gather lessons learned which will feed into the national programme roll out the Scottish Government created a Pilot project comprising 107 entries which contain developments and buildings of different typologies and ownership. As we are limited in the level of expertise within Scottish Government, we are seeking to gather further data and information on 73 of these pilot entries, as well as seek the professional view of a consultant in terms of the likable risk profile of these entries within the pilot. As a final step, we are tasking the supplier with developing individual reports on buildings which may be deemed low-risk or have tolerable risk (without the need for mitigations and remediation). This work will inform Scottish Government decision-making and pilot projects’ prioritisation.
