Framework Description
The Fire Doors - Contractor Supply and Install lot is part of South East Consortium's five-lot Fire Safety Works Framework. Contractors appointed to it source certified fire door sets from approved manufacturers, deliver and fit them, and complete remedial works and compliance paperwork. The lot was awarded on 23 January 2026 and runs until 22 January 2030.
Context & Use Case
Public sector landlords running large fire door upgrade programmes often want one contractor to manage the whole job, including choosing and buying certified door sets. This lot lets them appoint that contractor without procuring manufacture as a separate exercise. Call-offs are made by direct award or mini-competition among the appointed contractors.
Scope of Services
Procurement of certified fire door sets from approved manufacturers Delivery to site Fitting and installation Remedial works and reinstatement after installation Compliance documentation
Lots
Single lot (Fire Doors - Contractor Supply and Install, within the five-lot Fire Safety Works Framework)
Who Can Apply
Suits fire door installation contractors who can manage certified product supply chains and fit door sets at programme scale to current standards. Applications for this lot are closed; contractors not appointed can join only at SEC's re-tender, likely around 22 January 2030.
Buyer Benefits
One point of responsibility covers product choice, delivery, installation, making good and certification, which cuts the interface risk between manufacturer and fitter. Buyers running big programmes across many blocks save management time and receive the documentation they need to evidence compliance.
Next Steps
Appointed contractors should demonstrate traceable certification for every door set and strong programme management to SEC members. Others should build evidence of certified installation programmes, installer accreditation and supply agreements with approved manufacturers, ready for the re-tender expected around January 2030.
How Athena Can Help
Fire door programmes are high-value and heavily scrutinised, so call-off bids need to show product traceability and installation quality. Athena's tender writing service turns your supply chain and programme management into scored evidence, with win themes that set you apart from other appointed contractors.
