Merton Abbey Primary School needs fire safety improvement work done during the summer holidays of 2026. The work must be finished by either 1st September or 1st November (depending on how long the contractor says it will take), with a specific blackout period when no work can happen between 7th September and 23rd October (likely because school is in session).
Requirements
- Work must be completed by 1st September 2026 OR 1st November 2026 (contractor proposes which deadline suits their schedule)
- No works permitted between 7th September and 23rd October 2026 (school operational period)
- All enquiries and tender submissions must be made through the London Tenders Portal (not by email or post)
- Must complete fire safety works to UK building regulations and fire safety standards (standard for school work — check full documents for specifics)
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Conduct fire safety assessment of Merton Abbey Primary School
- Complete all necessary fire safety improvement works during summer 2026 holiday period
- Works must not disturb school operations after 7th September
- Ensure all fire safety works comply with current UK regulations and school safety standards
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a school project, so expect strict health and safety requirements and possible DBS (criminal record) checks for staff accessing the building — ask for these in the full tender documents early
- 2The flexible end date (1st Sept or 1st Nov) is unusual — it means you'll propose how long you need, but you must finish before school reopens on 7th September OR accept a later completion by 1st November. Read the full spec carefully to understand why two dates exist
- 3The 'no work 7th Sept - 23rd Oct' clause is critical: if you need longer than the summer break, you can only resume in late October. Plan your schedule carefully and flag any risks in your bid
- 4The mention of 'London Tenders Portal' means this is likely a Wandsworth or Merton Council contract — register on that portal immediately and check for the full tender documents there, not here
- 5Fire safety works at schools often require third-party inspection/sign-off — budget time and cost for building control sign-off or competent person certification
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a small contractor, consider partnering with a larger FM (facilities management) company or fire safety specialist as a subcontractor — schools often prefer established track records, but they may use small businesses as partners
- Submit your schedule clearly in your bid: state whether you'll finish by 1st September or 1st November, and explain why. If you choose 1st November, explain what work happens after school returns and how you'll manage site safety with children in the building
- Check if Merton/Wandsworth Council has a social value scoring section in the full tender — school contracts often score points for local employment, apprenticeships, or community benefits. Mention any local hiring plans you have
