To ensure that we are compliant with UK fire
safety laws, the Fire Safety Works team have identified the need to
under a comprehensive program to install and upgrade fire doors
across the borough. This programme will involve works to
approximately 1682 residential blocks containing circa 11,735
doors. This programme will also place an emphasis on 247 high-rise
buildings which contain five stories or more as legislation
requires to prioritize these properties.
To manage this programme, we propose awarding a contract to work
through two thirds of our phase 1 plan. This relates to 2800 doors
(which is 67% of the total 4161 doors identified in phase 1). The
cost is projected at a total of 7 million pounds.
To source a contractor to undertake these works, we are seeking
approval to undertake a mini competition via the Fusion 21 Building
Safety and Compliance Framework, ‘Passive Fire Protection -
Fire Doors’ category. We are anticipating starting these
works by the end of summer 2024.
