  3. Technical guidance and support of experts - Users of this framework may lack the in-house expertise or technical skill to determine the most appropriate fire safety system options for their institution. Users of this framework will therfore benefit from the technical support and guidance of industry experts with a proven track record of delivering economical and robust solutions for the education sector
  4. BAFE Accredited Contractors - All contractors appointed to the framework have been accredited to carry out fire safety system works by BAFE, an independent registration body (accredited by the government body UKAS) for third party certified fire protection companies across the UK.

  6. Regional Sub-Lotting - Social Value - The framework has been sub-lotted by region for a number of reasons.

Equally working with locally based contractors allows for a more quality driven and responsive service from framework contractors.
