Emergency Dangerous Structures Framework

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea as lead authority on behalf of itself and the London Dangerous Structures Consortium (the ‘Consortium’) is appointing a supplier to its Emergency Dangerous Structures Framework. The members of the Consortium are listed below.

The Authority on behalf of the Consortium is awarding the Emergency Dangerous Structures Framework Agreement to provide rapid response (attendance within 2 hours), emergency shoring and remedial works to dangerous buildings and structures on a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year basis across the Consortium's geographical area encompassing all of London, plus Dartford and Spelthorne. Term of the framework agreement is 1 April 2025 to the 31 March 2029.

The Contractor may also be asked to provide planned maintenance or planned works as and when required. The Framework covers both rapid responsive emergency works and specific planned maintenance work.

The members of the Consortium are the Authority plus the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Barnet, Bexley, Brent, Bromley, Camden, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Haringey, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Islington, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Newham, Redbridge, Richmond upon Thames, Southwark, Sutton, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth, City of Westminster, Corporation of the City of London, Royal Borough of Greenwich, Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (all members of the LDSA - London District Surveyors' Association), plus Dartford Borough Council, and Spelthorne Borough Council. Neither the Authority nor the Consortium guarantee that any call-off contracts shall be issued under this framework nor do they guarantee any volume of work which may be issued pursuant to such a framework.

The appointment to the framework is not a guarantee of any work. The maximum estimated value has been provided to cover all unforeseen incidents that may arise to buildings requiring a complexity of works over the term of the framework, including the potential for a major incident to a large or high-rise building.

However, it is unlikely the maximum value will be utilised. Members of the Consortium who cease use of the Framework shall not be replaced. The estimated value of this framework is £4,000,000 to £50,000,000.
