Fire Door and Compartmentation Surveys and Audits (Award)

The University sought to appoint a contractor to undertake Fire Door & Compartmentation Surveys across all areas as required. The project was instigated to address regulatory requirements and recommendations that followed the Grenfell fire tragedy. A range of framework providers were approached regarding potential frameworks. However some potential frameworks were not fire specific and listed suppliers were not a good fit for our requirements or were unable to meet the University's mandatory requirement for inspectors to hold a Diploma in Fire Doors and/or Diploma in Fire Stopping Inspection. The Fusion21 framework was identified as having requirement suitable providers who were able to meet the University's inspector accreditation requirements and a direct award was made to the 1st ranked supplier.
