    Brief

    The Department for Education (DfE) is seeking a subject matter expert to provide specialist advice on the structural and fire safety performance of 2D panelised modern methods of construction (MMC).

Key responsibilities include: - Researching, collating, and reviewing information on 2D panel systems used in low to medium-rise UK buildings - Analysing data provided by DfE - Conducting site visits to active construction projects and completed buildings using this method - Engaging with major contractors who supply and construct 2D panelised buildings - Providing recommendations on regulatory and safety compliance requirements This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) issued for market engagement purposes only. It is not a formal call for competition. Full procurement details will be shared following the Market Engagement event.
