Framework
This Lot provides a compliant route for you to procure contracts covering active fire protection and associated testing. It helps organisations to maintain safe, fully functioning fire detection and alert systems that meet current regulations and standards.
It’s free to access and can cover both communal areas and individual homes.
All Compliance frameworks
Contractors on this lot can deliver the full scope of active fire protection services - covering fire alarms, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, and associated testing.
You can use either direct award or mini‑competition routes, with clear guidance, transparent processes, and no access fees.
Customers are able to Direct Award to any contractor on the Lot regardless of ranking. To do this you must have justifiable reason for going outside of Rank 1. If you’d like to speak to us about this in more detail please get in touch.
How long will this take me?
A direct award will take approximately 3-4 weeks depending on your internal approval processes.
Direct Award Process Guide
You’re also able to run a mini-competition to call off this framework. You’ll be able to use your own specification and cost model. You can also choose your own cost / quality split and quality questions. All pricing submitted by contractors must be linked to the framework.
How long will this take me?
Once you have your specification and cost model ready, the tender process takes approximately 6-8 weeks, depending on your internal approval processes.
Mini-Competition Process Guide
Any publicly funded body can use this framework – access is not limited to SEC Members alone. Full details can be found here.
There is no access fee to use this framework. A levy % dependant on whether you are a guest or member is collected directly from the contractor once a call off contract is awarded. This percentage will never be more than 1.5% for Members and 2% for Guests.
If your organisation is already an SEC Member then you will not need to sign an additional Access Agreement. You’re already signed up.
If your organisation is new to SEC, and would like to use our frameworks as a non-member then you will need to sign our Access Agreement. You’ll only need to sign this once and you’ll receive access to all our Frameworks and DPS’s – even ones we procure in the future. You can view a draft agreement here – DRAFT Access Agreement (Non-Members).
