    Brief

    The Department for Education (DfE) is seeking an independent technical review to improve its approach to delivering school and college buildings using 2D panelised construction, a type of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). The successful supplier will provide strategic technical advice on fire safety and structural engineering considerations specifically for load-bearing 2D panelised systems. This will involve conducting a desk review of existing education projects built using 2D panels, undertaking site visits to these facilities, and facilitating stakeholder workshops with manufacturers, suppliers, and delivery partners. The supplier should also draw on their broader experience and expertise with this construction type from other sectors including residential, commercial, healthcare, and public sector projects. The findings and evidence gathered will inform the department's standards and assurance processes to ensure buildings continue to meet fire safety requirements and provide excellent learning environments. This is a contract award notice for services to support the Education Estates Directorate's capital delivery programmes.
