II.2.4) Description of the procurement
SFRS currently carries out approximately 70 000 home fire safety visits annually, providing fire safety advice and, where required, installing smoke and heat detection.
As a result of the Grenfell Tower incident, the Scottish Government established a Ministerial Working Group to oversee a review of building and fire safety regulatory frameworks, in order to help ensure that people are safe in Scotland’s buildings and to provide reassurance to residents and communities about their safety. As part of this work, the Group agreed that a consultation on fire and smoke alarms should be prioritised.
As a result, changes to legislation have been made to the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 (Modification of the Repairing Standard) Regulations 2019 and the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 (Tolerable Standard) (Extension of Criteria) Order 2019.
SFRS have a requirement to procure interlinked smoke, heat and CO detection required to meet the changes in legislation.

VI.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) must, by notice in writing as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform all tenderers and candidates of its decision to award the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish a dynamic purchasing system. The SFRS will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill at the point information on the contract award is communicated to tenderers. The SFRS is obliged to comply with the regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sherriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the SFRS, they suffer or risk suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the SFRS must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of: or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations.
