Monthly Fire Risk Assessments for Social Housing Properties

Nottingham City Council's Housing Services Building Safety Team is seeking a contractor to conduct monthly Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs) across 312 social housing sites, including high-rise, mid-rise, and low-rise residential blocks. The contractor will perform Type 1 FRAs, which are non-destructive assessments of common building areas such as lobbies, corridors, and shared spaces (not individual dwellings). Key responsibilities include identifying fire hazards, evaluating the effectiveness of existing fire safety measures, assessing compliance risks, and providing actionable recommendations to enhance tenant safety and meet Building Safety Act 2022 requirements. The role supports the council's duty to manage building safety risks, maintain comprehensive safety records, and ensure all properties comply with current fire safety regulations. This is an ongoing contract requiring regular assessments across the council's housing portfolio.
