Fire Safety Works Framework - Fire Doors - Manufacturer Supply and Install
Framework Description
This lot of South East Consortium's Fire Safety Works Framework buys certified fire door sets installed by the manufacturer or its appointed installer. It covers site surveys, manufacture with frames, hardware and glazing, delivery, installation, remedial works and certification evidence. Awarded on 23 January 2026, it runs until 22 January 2030 alongside four sister lots.
Context & Use Case
Landlords managing high-rise and low-rise housing, and other public estates, use it to meet duties under the Building Safety Act and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order when replacing or upgrading fire doors, on small or large programmes. Buyers can make a direct award to the top-ranked supplier or run a mini-competition among the appointed suppliers.
Scope of Services
Site surveys Manufacture of certified fire door sets, including frames, hardware and glazing Delivery of door sets Installation by the manufacturer or its appointed installer Remedial works Certification evidence
Lots
Single lot (Fire Doors - Manufacturer Supply and Install, within the five-lot Fire Safety Works Framework alongside Fire Doors - Manufacturer Supply Only, Fire Doors - Contractor Supply and Install, Passive Fire Protection and Active Fire Protection)
Who Can Apply
Suits certified fire door manufacturers that install their own products, directly or through appointed installers, and can run programmes of varying scale. Applications for this lot are closed until SEC re-tenders it, which is likely around 22 January 2030.
Buyer Benefits
Having the manufacturer responsible from survey to installation keeps certification intact from factory to frame, a key concern for building safety evidence. Ranked direct award gives buyers a fast route for urgent replacements, while mini-competition suits larger, planned replacement programmes.
Next Steps
If you are appointed, your ranking affects direct awards, so focus on performance that keeps SEC members choosing you and on winning mini-competitions. If not, prepare for the January 2030 re-tender: document survey-to-install programmes, installer competence and certification audits, and decide whether to bid for this lot, supply-only or both.
