Overview

**Please note this is a Market Engagement exercise to attract interest for our upcoming Tender. If you wish to be invited to participate in the tender please email declaration of interest to Procurement@Londonenergyltd.com** Spec: 3. Scope of Works The contractor shall provide a complete engineered fire detection and suppression system, including all labour, materials, plant, access equipment, design services, testing equipment, certification and documentation necessary to deliver a fully operational system. The protected scope comprises four individual turbine areas within the Turbine Hall. For tendering purposes, each turbine shall be assumed to have an approximate protected area of 15 m², giving an indicative total protected turbine area of approximately 60 m². Tenderers shall verify all dimensions, access constraints, hazard locations and coverage requirements during the site survey and shall base the final design on confirmed site measurements and risk assessment. • Site surveys and risk assessment of the Turbine Hall and protected turbine assets. • Design of the fire detection, alarm interface and suppression system. • Selection and supply of detectors, control panels, suppression equipment, pipework, nozzles, cylinders, pumps, valves, cabling, containment, signage and ancillary equipment. • Installation of all system components, including interfaces with existing fire alarm, plant control, shutdown, ventilation or building management systems where required. • Factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, commissioning and functional performance testing. • Provision of certification, operation and maintenance manuals, as-built drawings, cause-and-effect documentation and training. • Provision of warranty, defects support and proposals for ongoing inspection, testing and maintenance. 4. Regulatory and Standards Compliance The system and all works shall comply with all applicable UK legislation, regulations, approved guidance and recognised standards current at the date of tender and installation. The contractor shall identify and declare all applicable standards within their tender submission and shall state any proposed deviations. • Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the duties of the Responsible Person. • BS 5839-1 for fire detection and fire alarm systems in non-domestic premises, including design, installation, commissioning and maintenance requirements. • Applicable BS EN 54 standards for fire detection and alarm components. • Applicable standards for the selected suppression technology, which may include BS EN 15004 for gaseous extinguishing systems, BS 8489 for industrial and commercial watermist systems, BS EN 12845 for sprinkler systems, or other relevant recognised standards appropriate to the proposed solution. • Where water mist is proposed, the system shall comply with BS 8489 or another applicable recognised standard for industrial and commercial water mist systems, together with manufacturer approvals, fire test evidence and any insurer requirements relevant to turbine or machinery-space oil-fire protection. • BS 7273 requirements for interfaces between fire detection systems and ancillary fire protection measures, where applicable. • Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, CDM Regulations 2015, Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and all applicable site safety requirements. • Manufacturer installation instructions, insurer requirements and industry best practice. 5. Technical Requirements 5.1 Fire Risk Basis The principal fire risk within the protected turbine areas arises from steam pipework operating at conditions and temperatures above the flash point of the oil used within the turbine systems. Oil pipework and steam pipework run adjacent to one another, increasing the likelihood that an oil leak, spray, mist or release could come into contact with hot steam pipework or other high-temperature surfaces and ignite.
