II.1.4) Short description
LHC Procurement Group are seeking suitable suppliers for the upcoming FD9 - Fire Doors framework. This framework is the successor to our current C8 Communal Doors framework and has been retitled to better reflect its content.
This framework is designed for the installation, renewal, and associated works for a wide range of fire doorsets across LHCPG clients domestic, commercial, and mixed use premises.
The scope covers various materials, including timber, composite, and steel, along with access control provision, ensuring flexibility to meet different project requirements.
For timber and composite door products only, this framework includes the installation of fully certified and bi-directionally tested fire-resisting door sets to meet current and future fire safety standards.
The scope may also extend to other building openings, and non-fire-rated doors, provided these elements do not form the majority of the works and are not the core focus of the works.
The scope of this framework may include, but is not limited to:
- Doors
- Flat entrance doors
- Street doors
- Communal doors
- Main entrance doors
- Internal doors and screens
- Specialist doors, including pivot doors, cell doors, and security grilles (primarily under
steel applications)
- Fire-resisting door sets (timber, composite, and steel materials)
- Enhanced security doors (PAS 24/LPS1175-[SBD])
This framework covers both internal and external applications, domestic and nondomestic, with provisions for specialist works where additional expertise is required, such as access control systems, security-rated products, and bespoke glazing solutions.
Additionally, the framework encompasses all necessary associated works to ensure a complete and compliant installation, including:
- Locks, glazing, hinges, and ironmongery
- Joinery and framing works
- Making good and associated works following installations as required as necessary to achieve a compliant, durable, and aesthetically suitable finish
