HMPPS Cookham Wood-Fire Safety Improvements (FSI)

Descriptions

As part of continual refurbishment works throughout the estate, the MOJ have identified the need for improvements to fire safety systems within 2nr. blocks, Phoenix and Cedar Wings. Replacement of fire detection systems is required within all cells and other areas in both wings utilising a hardwired system. Further works include the installation of a new fire alarm panel, smoke ventilation systems, hose reel units, and assessment of existing compartmentation and fire doors in use. Alongside the fire safety improvements in both blocks, upgrades to the lighting within the Phoenix building to a more sustainable LED solution is required. A constructor has been appointed for the design and build of the project. This is a two stage Design and Build Contract let under the PPC2000 (Amended 2013) Form of contract. The original estimated value of the contract was calculated by MOJ, and its Cost Consultants following desktop and non-intrusive surveys and was based on information reasonably known at the time and arrived at via a thorough and appropriate methodology.
