CHIC is excited to announce our new CHIC’s Fire & Building Safety Framework will officially launch on Wednesday 29th January at Conference Aston in Birmingham. Framework awards are approved our Board of Directors and subject to the completion of the standstill period, we will be announcing the suppliers during the week commencing 27th January.
This framework addresses the critical fire safety needs of our sector, offering CHIC members a flexible, compliant and efficient route to market for essential fire safety services. With significant interest already received, this is set to be our largest framework yet, featuring a diverse range of suppliers from micro and small businesses to medium and large companies. Procurement options will include mini-competition and direct award (subject to an approved business case) enabling you to tailor solutions to your specific needs.
A Comprehensive Framework
The Fire & Building Safety Framework is structured into three lots, each focusing on vital areas of fire safety:
Lot 1: Fire Safety Installation and Replacement – Covering fire doors, alarms, emergency lighting, cladding and compartmentation.
Lot 2: Fire Servicing and Maintenance – Ensuring systems remain compliant and operational, including fire doors, suppression systems, extinguishers and more.
Lot 3: Fire Consultancy and Management – Providing expert advice, including fire risk assessments, safety case development and cladding consultancy.
This framework will help our members navigate increasingly complex fire safety regulations while promoting sustainability, innovation and collaboration across the sector.
Launch Event Details
To celebrate the launch, we’re hosting an event on 29th January at Conference Aston. This is an opportunity for all CHIC members to learn more about the framework and meet some of the approved suppliers who will deliver these services. Please note that attendance is open to CHIC members and all those suppliers appointed to the framework.
If you have any questions about the framework, its structure, or the launch event, feel free to reach out to our procurement team at [email protected].
We look forward to seeing you there!
