Passive Fire Safety Works

Curo have conducted the following pre-market engagement with various providers prior to the publication of this notice and the Act going live on 24th February 2025. Project Team attendance at ‘The Fire Safety Event’ at the NEC, Birmingham in April 2024. This involved general marketing discussions and collections of literature with various fire safety vendors who were exhibiting at the event. Visit to contractor in April 2024 to discuss their fire safety work with other social landlords. The following items were discussed: • Services they offer specifically passive fire work; building remediation assessments; other areas of fire safety • Potential for linking in with our fire risk assessment system • Views on blended reactive and planned work Contractor factory visit/tour in January 2025. The following items were discussed: • Manufacturing processes • Quality control in manufacturing • General Q&A throughout factory tour • Views on blended reactive and planned work • Views on feasibility of open book model for materials • Primary test evidence v field of application Our pre-market engagement has told us that there is a lot of risk for contractors in the reactive work as it is uncertain, pepper potted and subject to higher rates of no access. As a result, this type of work often attracts a risk premium. Providers have indicated that by going for a combined planned and reactive contract they can offer a better blended rate on the reactive side, as they have the planned work to help them maintain productivity, so their risk is reduced.
