Fire Safety Works Framework - Fire Doors - Manufacturer Supply Only
Framework Description
Fire Doors - Manufacturer Supply Only is a lot of South East Consortium's Fire Safety Works Framework for buying certified fire door sets direct from manufacturers, without installation. It covers manufacture of door sets with frames, hardware and glazing options, certification and delivery to site. The lot was awarded on 23 January 2026 and runs until 22 January 2030.
Context & Use Case
Buyers with in-house installation teams, or with a separate installation contractor, use it to source door sets without bundling the fitting. That lets them pair supply with their preferred installation route, for instance a repairs contractor already working in the building. Call-offs are made by direct award or mini-competition among the appointed manufacturers.
Scope of Services
Manufacture of certified fire door sets Frames, hardware and glazing options Certification Delivery to site
Lots
Single lot (Fire Doors - Manufacturer Supply Only, within the five-lot Fire Safety Works Framework)
Who Can Apply
Suits fire door manufacturers with recognised third-party certification, consistent product quality and the capacity to supply public sector programmes. Applications for this lot are closed, so manufacturers not appointed cannot join until SEC re-tenders it, likely around 22 January 2030.
Buyer Benefits
Buying direct from certified manufacturers keeps certification traceable to source and gives buyers control over who fits the doors. It suits landlords with their own trades who need product rather than labour, and those who want to compare door set prices separately from installation costs.
Next Steps
Appointed manufacturers should make lead times, product range and certification packs easy for SEC members to compare. Others should keep third-party certification and test evidence current, record supply volumes to public sector clients, and prepare for the re-tender expected around January 2030, possibly with an installation partner for the supply-and-install lots.
