Emergency Lighting Servicing

Award outcome

Description

The Authority is currently undertaking a tender process for the provision of Fire Safety services, including Emergency Lighting compliance checks. The procurement is in the evaluation stage and contract awards are anticipated within the next 3-4 months. Emergency Lighting compliance checks are a critical element of the Authority's fire safety obligations and are required to ensure the safety of tenants residing in the Authority's social housing stock. An interruption in service provision would expose the Authority to significant operational and compliance risks and could adversely affect resident safety. The proposed extension is therefore necessary to ensure continuity of service whilst the ongoing procurement process is concluded and replacement contracts are mobilised. The extension is limited to the minimum period required to complete these activities and does not alter the nature, scope or overall purpose of the existing contract.
