Decision: To award a contract to Ventro Group
to carry out Fire Safety Works at the Ashlyns Estate in
Berkhamsted. This estate is made up of 14 mid-rise blocks of
flats,
Reason: In line with the Fire Safety Policy the council carry out
Fire Risk Assessments (FRAs) to our council owned blocks of flats.
These FRAs identify compartmentalisation works that are required to
prevent the spread of fire.
Consequently, the council has commissioned additional Fire
Compartmentation Surveys to be undertaken at the 14 blocks of flats
located in the Ashlyns Estate, Berkhamsted.
The outcome of the surveys is that fire safety works need to be
carried out to ensure they are up to the required standard.
The Council has utilised the Efficiency East Midlands (EEM)
Framework Agreement to appoint Ventro Ltd to carry out the works.
This is deemed the best route to ensure the works are carried out
as quickly as possible rather than going through a lengthy tender
process.
